Delve into the profound origins and evolution of the Kabbalah with Adolphe Franck's scholarly work, The Kabbalah: The Religious Philosophy of the Hebrews. Originally published in 1843, this study meticulously traces the roots of Kabbalistic philosophy, uncovering its deep connections to ancient Zoroastrian beliefs.

Franck draws on the Sepher Yetzirah and the Zohar, analyzing these seminal texts to explore the Kabbalah's development long before their first recorded publication in the 13th century. By comparing Kabbalistic thought with Greek philosophy, Gnosticism, and the teachings of Philo and the Alexandrians, Franck challenges prevailing assumptions about its origins.

His insightful thesis suggests that the Kabbalah may have emerged during the Babylonian exile, influenced by the contemporaneous spread of Zoroastrianism. This groundbreaking work offers readers a compelling reevaluation of the Kabbalah's place in the broader tapestry of world religious and philosophical thought.
