One God, Many Prophets by Zachary Markwith is a lucid and
compelling exposition of religious pluralism written from within
the Islamic tradition. Through selections from the Quran, sayings
of the Prophet Mu ammad, and the writings of Muslim philosophers
and Sufis, we discover that traditional Islam and Muslims
acknowledge the common Divine origin of previous revelations and
prophets as cardinal tenets of faith, and also the esteemed status
of other revealed religions and those who practice them. This
volume also examines fascinating and timely aspects of Islamic
philosophy and spirituality alongside other wisdom traditions,
including Judaism, Christianity, Greek philosophy, and Hinduism.
The themes and principles discussed include Islam and the perennial
philosophy, love of the divine feminine, the metaphysics of the
Self, Christic, Eliatic, and Hermetic wisdom, and traditional
cosmology. The universal and particular wisdom of Islam highlighted
throughout this volume is an affirmation of the universal or
perennial wisdom of humanity. It challenges us to see Islam and all
revealed religions not as competing ideologies, but as "paths that
lead to the same summit.""
Third Edition God, the Universe, and Man-their essential unity and
fundamental attributes as seen through the eyes of Jewish esoteric
tradition-is the subject of Leo Schaya's masterly study of the
Kabbalah. Unlike most works on the subject, which focus on the
history of the Kabbalah or the Kabbalah as literature (not to
mention countless 'new age' rants), this penetrating text expounds
the universal teachings of the Kabbalah on the relationships of all
things to their supreme archetypes, the ten Sephiroth, or
principial aspects of God. In addition to the Old Testament and the
Talmud, Schaya draws on one of the classical sources of Jewish
mysticism-the Zohar, or Book of Splendor-fromwhich he extracts an
all-embracing synthesis of the numberless degrees of All-Reality,
to which correspond the multiple states of human being, from
earthly individuality to essential identity with the Absolute. This
work, acclaimed by reviewers and scholars alike, fittingly
concludes with an illuminating chapter on the Name of God, which
saves 'all those who invoke him in truth.' Students of comparative
religion will find an abundance of information here, for striking
parallels both with the Hindu cosmological doctrines and the
metaphysical insights of the Vedantic sages are among the surprises
interlaced in this account of Judaic esoteric wisdom. In this,
Schaya carries on the extraordinary work of three great
20th-century metaphysicians of the philosophia perennis: Rene
Guenon, Frithjof Schuon, and Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. This book will
be extremely useful to anyone who is, in the words of Maimonides,
'perplexed' by the Bible in the sense of having exercised his best
thinking about it and who now stands 'broken' before its apparent
contradictions and its overwhelming emotional authority. The
Kabbalah, or esotericism, is the communication to man of what
Schaya calls principial ideas, ideas that are to thought and
actions what the sun is to its rays. Standing between metaphysical
ideas and the symbolic language of the Zohar and the Old Testament,
he allows each side to penetrate the other. -Jacob Needleman,
author of Lost Christianity, A Sense of the Cosmos, etc. This book
fills an urgent need. To rediscover the deepest meaning of the Old
Testament is something that could haved a most tonic and
enlightening effect on the whole of Christian thought today; no
clearer interpreters are to be found than the masters of the
Kabbalah. -Marco Pallis, author of The Way and the Mountain, A
Buddhist Spectrum, etc. Leo Schaya was born in Switzerland in 1916.
He received a traditional Jewish upbringing, but from an early age
devoted himself to the study of the great metaphysical doctrines of
East and West, particularly those of Neoplatonism, Sufism, and
theAdvaita Vedanta. His works include, in addition to The Universal
Meaning of the Kabbalah (first published in French in 1958 as
L'Homme et l'Absolu selon la Kabbale), La Doctrine Soufique de
l'Unite, La creation en Dieu: a la lumiere du judaisme, du
christianisme et l'islam, and Naissance a l'esprit, as well as
numerous articles.
Night Horizons includes correspondence between the religious and
philosophical poet and thinker Gerard Casey and his wife Mary
(author of The Kingfisher's Wing and Clear Shadow) and also his
brother Patrick. Also included are essays on Jacob Boehme, Sri
Ramana Maharshi, and other meditations. The extraordinary
correspondence between Gerard and Mary Casey has no equivalent
other than that between Heloise and Abelard in the Middle Ages.
