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

This is a wonderful light-filled book about the most important cosmic mystery in the Universe - the Zohar. I loved every part of it. It's a true treasure.

This book provides the answers and tools necessary for real transformation.

In "About the Author" it is stated that Mr. Berg was the first to translate the Zohar from Aramaic to English. This is inaccurate. Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag translated the Zohar from Aramaic into Hebrew. Mr Berg then translated Rabbi Ashlag's Hebrew text into English, omitting Rabbi Ashlag's commentary.
