Authenticity of Zohar

A series of articles by Rabbi Moshe Miller regarding the question of authenticity of Zohar, its authorship by Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the claims and arguments of skeptics and response to them.

Both as a tool for battling foolish ignorance of certain elements and for one’s own education. Not for those afflicted with ADD, however.

These articles really put the smackdown on Scholem and Tishby (who deny that the Zohar was written by Rashbi). It would be interesting to see if there is any rebuttal to Rabbi Miller.
