{"product_id":"ascent-to-heaven-in-islamic-algis-uzdavinys-9781908092021","title":"Ascent to Heaven in Islamic and Jewish Mysticism","description":"In this groundbreaking work of comparative religion, Algis Uzdavinys takes us deeply into the \"closed and blessed gardens of myth\", showing us the capital importance of the many varieties of \"ascent to heaven\". From the Pyramid Texts down to Second Temple Judaism and apocalyptic Christian literature; and, in parallel, down the theurgic path of Platonic and Hermetic literature to the sanctum of the Islamic revelation in Mecca, we are vividly presented with the sacramental impact of anagoge: elevation to the domain of the supernal archetypes and heavenly principles. As with other books by the author, the face of antiquity is revealed anew, full of intriguing, challenging and enraptured insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Algis Uzdavinys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908092025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908092021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Matheson Trust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Algis Uzdavinys","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989523169535,"sku":"9781908092021","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7a367f1-722e-4572-b9c6-580677225c4e.jpg?v=1683299987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ascent-to-heaven-in-islamic-algis-uzdavinys-9781908092021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
