The only device to approach it seems to be philology, that is, tracing back the development of notions in the Schellingian oeuvre. On the other hand, in addition to this approach, it is also possible to examine the development process of the original kabbalistic ideas in question, in order to verify the legitimacy and necessity of the traditionally strict distinction between "Jewish" and "Christian" Kabbalah. This essay offers a parabolic approach as an attempt to understand the nature of Schelling's kabbalistic heritage.

Kabbalah, as an exegetical method of extracting the mystical layers of the Torah, developed a method, similar to the Pauline typology in Christianity, namely the symbolic or spiritual understanding of the Patriarchal figures-Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-identifying them with the three divine attributes (sefirot) that channel the creative forces of God; this idea was articulated in a dialectical formulation that, due to its similarities to the classical Christian tripartite formulation, provided a common ground for the later discussions between Judaism and Christian theology. In this article I attempt to reconstruct the genealogy of the development process of this formulation as far as it found its way into Christian mysticism.
