One of our small groups in our church has begun a study of Dan Kimball’s book, They Like Jesus but not the Church. In the first section, Dan speaks about talking with two folks in a coffee shop. The two folks he met had come into the coffee shop and were discussing Kabbalah.
Kabbalah is becoming more widely known and practiced in culture. It is something that Christ followers need to understand.
One of the things we’re doing in our study is putting together information that can be used in an apologetic sense to share with folks around the themes Dan deals with in his book. Since he has a discussion of Kabbalah, I’ve done some, just a little actually, research on the topic and provide a couple of those links below. I would love to hear what you know about the topic especially if you have interacted with folks apologetically.
