THE NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME

What is the Name above every name-and how does it hold together creation, revelation, prophecy, and redemption?

The Name Above Every Name brings Sefer Yetzirah, Abraham Abulafia, and biblical systematic theology into a bold and original dialogue. Antony Hylton explores how the Hebrew letters, the divine Name Yahuwah, and the revelation of Yeshua HaMashiach converge in a theology of creation, prophetic speech, eschatology, and human transformation.

Drawing on Sefer Yetzirah, the ancient Book of Formation, this volume examines the letter-grammar of creation: the thirty-two paths of wisdom, the ten sefirot, the twenty-two Hebrew letters, and the mysterious structure by which the world is formed through divine speech. It then turns to Abraham Abulafia, the great medieval prophetic Kabbalist, whose works Imrei Shefer and Sefer ha-Ot present a dynamic vision of Hebrew letters, divine Names, prophetic consciousness, and the coming restoration.

At the same time, this book places these mystical traditions in conversation with Scripture, Luther's theology of the Word, Pentecostal experience, and the New Testament proclamation that the Name above every name has been bestowed upon Yeshua.

This is not a simple introduction to Kabbalah, nor a conventional work of Christian theology. It is a serious, accessible, and deeply spiritual study for readers interested in:

Hebrew letters and divine Names
Sefer Yetzirah and Jewish mysticism
Abraham Abulafia and prophetic Kabbalah
Yahuwah, Yeshua, and biblical theology
the relationship between language, creation, and revelation

For scholars, seekers, and spiritually serious readers, The Name Above Every Name offers a fresh theological vision: creation is engraved with the Name, prophecy is the reception of the Name, and redemption is the restoration of all things through the Name that is above every name.
