More about the book

Scholem's studies on Kabbalah—the Jewish mystical-theosophical doctrine claiming to be an ancient revelation—offer a fascinating contribution to understanding the history and psychology of Judaism. The recurring images and symbols of a movement whose esoteric teachings have been disseminated over centuries across various schools cannot be fully grasped conceptually. Scholem interprets them within a vibrant context of the mystical tradition.
