Popis: Robert Barclay inhabited a wide-ranging spiritual and theological world. He has long been acknowledged as a Jesuit-trained ex-Calvinist well versed in Protestant scholastic theology, yet Barclay was also familiar with Jewish kabbalistic writings through Knorr von Rosenroth’s Kabbala denudata. A comparison of Barclay with his friend George Keith, who was also influenced by von Rosenroth, reveals new layers of meaning in Barclay’s work, particularly in applications of kabbalistic terms to Christology.
