Jewish Mysticism

Jewish mysticism – Dan Cohn-Sherbok

What is Jewish mysticism? This fascinating anthology provides a lucid and detailed survey of the treasures of the Jewish mystical tradition. Beginning with an illuminating introduction to the history of Jewish mysticism, Professor Cohn-Sherbok goes on to trace the major developments in mystical reflection from the early rabbinic period to modern times. Here he presents a chronological anthology of mystical passages, each prefaced with introductory material that explains their historical context, to produce an excellent overview of the evolution of Jewish mysticism from ancient times to the present day.
