| Summary |
The Christian God has at once all names and no name. To explore this conflict, the author here examines two lists of God's names - one from 'The Divine Names', the classic treaty by Pseudo-Dionysus, and the other from 'The 72 Names of the Lord' an amulet whose history binds together the Kabbalah and Christianity |
