Michael Berg’s overview of the Zohar is a virtual timeline showing its connection with great historical figures and events throughout time. He addresses the myths surrounding this sacred work, and covers who first revealed it, who wrote it down, and who studied it — not just Jewish scholars, but Plato, Sir Isaac Newton, the Knights Templar, and other inquisitive thinkers. Berg clearly demonstrates the profound influence Zohar and Kabbalah have had on all the major disciplines, from literature and art to medicine and science.

Great Read!,

This review is from: The Secret History of the Zohar (Hardcover)
This book is a great resource for students of Kabbalah and anyone interested in how the tradition of Kabbalah has impacted great thinkers throughout the ages. Yes, it's true that the origin of the Zohar is debated by academics, but the scholars of the Zohar who LIVE it's wisdom generally agree. Michael Berg makes the history of the Zohar accessible to all... The book gives a introduction to the Zohar (What is it and what does it say?) and then goes chronologically through the centuries, pointing out key figures who studied from the Zohar. Find out how the Zohar has impacted history and how it can drastically change your life. After reading SECRET HISTORY, you might follow up with Secrets of the Zohar: Stories and Meditations to Awaken the Heart
