Leading figures at the dawn of the sixteenth-century Reformation
commonly faced the charge of "judaizing": 72 In His Name concerns
the changing views of four such men starting with their kabbalistic
treatment of the 72 divine names of angels. Johann Reuchlin, the
first of the four men featured in this book, survived the charge;
Martin Luther's increasingly anti-semitic stance is contrasted with
the opposite movement of the French Franciscan Jean Thenaud whose
kabbalistic manuscripts were devoted to Francis I; Philipp Wolff,
the fourth, had been born into a Jewish family but his recorded
views were decidedly anti-semitic. 72 In His Name also includes
evidence that kabbalistic beliefs and practices, such as the
service for exorcism recorded by Thenaud, were unwittingly recorded
by Christians. Although the book concerns early modern Europe, the
religious interactions, the shifting spiritual attitudes, and the
shadows cast linger on.
