The movement, which featured a set of theological doctrines in which Jewish Kabbalistic tradition merged with Muslim and later Christian elements, suffered a setback with Tsevi's conversion to Islam in 1666. Nonetheless, for another hundred and fifty years, Sabbatianism continued to exist as a heretical underground movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt provoked intense opposition from rabbinic authorities for another century and had a significant impact on central developments of later Judaism, such as the Haskalah, the Reform movement, Hasidism, and the secularisation of Jewish society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSabbatian Heresy\u003c\/em\u003e provides a selection of the most original and influential texts composed by Sabbatai Tsevi and his followers, complemented by fragments of the works of their rabbinic opponents and contemporary observers, and some literary works inspired by Sabbatianism.
