Christian Kabbalah
The Renaissance saw the birth of Christian Kabbalah/Cabala (from the Hebrew קַבָּלָה "reception", often transliterated with a 'C' to distinguish it from Jewish Kabbalah and Hermetic Qabalah〔(KABBALAH? CABALA? QABALAH? ) from Jewish kabbalaonline.org〕), also spelled ''Cabbala''. Interest grew among some Christian scholars in what they saw to be the mystical aspects of Judaic Kabbalah, which were compatible with Christian theology. Although somewhat obscure, the tradition of Christian Cabala or Catholic Cabala still persists today.
== Background ==
The movement was influenced by a desire to interpret aspects of Christianity even more mystically than current Christian Mystics. Greek Neoplatonic documents came into Europe from Constantinople in the reign of Mehmet II. Neoplatonism had been prevalent in Christian Europe and had entered into Scholasticism since the translation of Greek and Hebrew texts in Spain in the 13th century. The Renaissance trend was a relatively short-lived phenomenon, ending by 1750.
Christian Cabala "reinterpreted Kabbalistic doctrince from a distinctly Christian perspective, linking Jesus Christ, His atonement, and His resurrection to the Ten Sefirot", linking the upper three Sephirot to the hypostases of the Trinity and the last seven "to the lower or earthly world",〔Walter Martin, Jill Martin Rische, Kurt van Gorden: (''The Kingdom of the Occult'' ). Nashville: Thomas Nelson 2008, p. 147f, accessed on 28 March 2013.〕 or "would make Kether the Creator (or the Spirit), Hokhmah the Father, and Binah—the supernal mother—Mary", which "places Mary on a divine level with God, something the orthodox churches have always refused to do".〔Rachel Pollack: (''The Kabbalah Tree: A Journey of Balance & Growth'' ). First edition, second printing 2004. St. Paul, MN: Llewellyn Publications 2004, p. 50, accessed on 28 March 2013. 〕 Christian Cabalists sought to transform Kabbalah into "a dogmatic weapon to turn back against the Jews to compel their conversion—starting with Ramon Llull", whom Harvey J. Hames called "the first Christian to acknowledge and appreciate ''kabbalah'' as a tool of conversion", though Llull was not a Kabbalist himself nor versed in Kabbalah.〔Don Karr: (''The Study of Christian Cabala in English'' ) (pdf), p. 1, accessed on 28 March 2013.〕 Later Christian Cabala is mostly based on Pico della Mirandola, Johann Reuchlin and Paolo Riccio.〔Walter Martin, Jill Martin Rische, Kurt van Gorden: (''The Kingdom of the Occult'' ). Nashville: Thomas Nelson 2008, p. 150, accessed on 28 March 2013.〕
After the 18th century, Kabbalah became blended with European occultism, some of which had a religious basis; but the main thrust of Christian Kabbalah was by then dead. A few attempts have been made to revive it in recent decades, particularly in relation to the Neoplatonism of the first two chapters of the ''Gospel of John'', but it has not entered into mainstream Christianity.
