THE NAME TRILOGY BOOK ONE : THE SHOOTING STAR

The Shooting Star is the first volume of The Name Trilogy, a historical novel that delves into the life of Abraham Abulafia, a controversial Jewish mystic and prophet in the late thirteenth century. It intertwines themes of Kabbalah and Christian thought, exploring Abulafia’s proclamation of a prophetic return through the sacred Name of God and his dramatic journey to Rome amidst parallel apocalyptic expectations from Franciscan followers. Grounded in thorough scholarship, the narrative addresses the complexities of Jewish mysticism, medieval theology, and the interplay between prophecy and tradition, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of faith across cultural divides.
