| | |  glorification: Encyclopedia - ZoharThe Zohar (Hebrew זהר "Splendor, radiance") is widely considered the most important work of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism. It is a mystical commentary on the Torah (the five books of Moses), written in medieval Aramaic and medieval Hebrew. It contains a mystical discussion of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, sin, redemption, good and evil, and related topics.
The Zohar is not one book, but a group of books. These books include scriptural interpretations as well as material on the ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Zohar - Origin According to Gershom Scholem, most of the Zohar was written in an exalted style of Aramaic that was spoken in Palestine during the second century of the modern era. The Zohar first appeared in Spain in the 13th century, and was published by a Jewish writer named Moses de Leon. He ascribed this work to a rabbi of the second century, Simeon ben Yohai. Jewish historiography holds that during a time of Roman persecution, Rabbi Simeon hid in a cave for 13 years, studying the Torah with his son, Elazar. [1] During this time he is said to have been ins ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Sanctification - Protestantism A true overview as to what protestants believe concerning sanctification is almost impossible, due to the fact that protestant theologies differ so much from denomination to denomination.
In the Protestant churches sanctification is widely viewed as the second stage in the Christian's walk with Christ, the first being justification(used here as salvation) and the third being glorification.
Sanctification, as discussed above, begins at the moment the Christian is saved, but the point of completion is sometimes disputed.

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Purgatory - Catholic theology In Roman Catholic theology, Purgatory is a process of purification of the soul after death, following the particular judgment and ordinarily a requirement before entry into Heaven. Although, the word Purgatory was unknown before the 11th century - one of the first documents to mention purgatorium by that name was a letter from the Benedictine Nicholas of Saint Albans to the Cistercian Peter of Celle in 1176 (Haggh, 1997), the concept itself is expressed by early Christians in writings the likes of Tertullin and St. Cypri ...

Catholic DoctrineAs the main purpose of this article is to vindicate the Catholic doctrine of the meritoriousness of good works, the subject is treated under the four following heads:
Merit - NATURE OF MERIT.
If we analyse the definition given above, it becomes evident that the property of merit can be found only in works that are positively good, whilst bad works, whether they benefit or injure a third party, contain nothing but demerit (demeritum) and consequently deserve punishment. Thus the good workman certain ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Zohar - Appendices and additions The Zohar is not considered complete without the addition of certain appendixes, which are often attributed either to the same author, or to some of his immediate disciples. These supplementary portions are almost always printed as part of the text with separate titles, or in separate columns. They are as follows:
Sifra di-Ẓeni'uta, consisting of five chapters, in which are chiefly discussed the questions involved in the Creation, such as the transition from the infinite to the finite, that from absolute unity to multif ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Zohar - Influence on Christian mysticism The enthusiasm felt for the Zohar was shared by many Christian scholars, such as Pico de Mirandola, Reuchlin, Ægidius of Viterbo, etc., all of whom believed that the book contained proofs of the truth of Christianity. They were led to this belief by the analogies existing between some of the teachings of the Zohar and certain Christian dogmas, such as the fall and redemption of man, and the dogma of the Trinity, which seems to be expressed in the Zohar in the following terms: "The Ancient of Days has three heads. He reveals himself in three ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Purgatory - Eastern Orthodox theology Some Eastern Orthodox sources, including the Ecumenical Patriarchate, consider Purgatory to be among "inter-corrolated theories, unwitnessed in the Bible or in the Ancient Church" that are not acceptable within Orthodox doctrine,[5] and hold to a "condition of waiting"[6] as a more apt description of the period after death for those not borne directly to heaven. This waiting condition does not imply purification as it is linked to the idea "there is no hope of repentance or betterment after death." The pr ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Purgatory - Christian spirituality Roman Catholics and many Eastern Orthodox Christians consider it to be a fact of great beauty that God provides a means of purification after death, considering it "a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from sins" (2 Mac 12:39-46).
The Eastern Orthodox church, separate from the Roman Church since well before 1054 (see East-West Schism), has no explicit recognition of the term "Purgatory" nor acceptance of such a state distinct from being "asleep in the Lord". Yet belief that the dead may be loosed f ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Purgatory - Protestant theology Protestant churches largely reject explicit belief in the Catholic view of Purgatory. However, most do embrace the doctrine of glorification which caries an almost identical definition (The reaching of perfection by the elect before/as they enter into the kingdom of heaven) Perhaps the largest reason protestants chose not to agree with the Catholics is that Martin Luther's first attack on Roman Catholic theology was on the sale of indulgences and, through this, the concept of purgatory. Even today, Lutherans are forbidden to say prayers for ...

The initial letters of the words Peshat, Remez, Derash, and Sod form together the word PaRDeS ("paradise/orchard"), which became the designation for the four ...

| | | | glorification: Encyclopedia II - Zohar - Effects on Judaism The Zohar was lauded by many rabbis because it opposed religious formalism, stimulated one's imagination and emotions, and for many people helped reinvigorate the experience of prayer. In many places prayer had become a mere external religious exercise, while prayer was supposed to be a means of transcending earthly affairs and placing oneself in union with God.
The Zohar was censured by many rabbis because it propagated many superstitious beliefs, and produced a host of mystical dreamers, whose over-heated imaginations peopled the wo ...
