Edited
\nby Alessandro Grossato, this book is dedicated to the figure of Elijah
\n(Elias) as the invisible master, studied through his various
\nmetamorphoses in the spiritual traditions which have adopted him:
\nJudaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.
The essays in
\nthe book cast light from various points of view on the aspect shared
\nmost by the convergent prophetic figures forming a fundamental but
\nhitherto little explored theme in the history of religions: the theme
\nof the “invisible master<\/span>”. The
\nearliest form of this figure is found in Hinduism, going back to
\nCentral Asian and Siberian shamanism. Giuseppe Laras illustrates the
\ncrucial prophetic role Elijah plays in Judaism, while Giancarlo
\nLacerenza explores the initiatory function of the figure in the Kabbalah<\/span>.
\nCelestino Corsato provides an introduction to the Christian theological
\nre-elaboration of the figure of Elijah by the first Fathers of the
\nChurch. Flavio Cuniberto dwells on the Elijah motifs in the Carmelite
\ntradition and their permanence in Christian theosophy since the 17th
\ncentury. Carlo Saccone examines the twofold ambivalent figure of Elijah
\nand al Khidr<\/span> in Islam, in
\nwhich the latter is at times only Elijah\u2019s alter ego, whereas in other
\ncases he is an independent prophetic figure. He also plays an extremely
\nimportant role in the Tasawwuf<\/span>, Islamic esotericism, as the initiator outside the turuq<\/span> – the regular confraternities. Lastly, Alessandro Grossato tackles the
\nfinal link in this long historical and spiritual chain which at its
\nextremes can join up the two apparently very remote traditions of
\nJudaism and Hinduism.<\/p>\n
