| Summary: | The challenge of writing a book on Kabbalah for the educated reader is to communicate the range of Kabbalistic experience, belief, and teaching without obscuring the subject or diluting its meaning. This book accomplishes that task with thoroughness and lucidity. The author draws upon a rich array of sources and presents a thorough panorama of Kabbalistic teachings in a clear and readable style despite the fact that it is a translation from Hebrew. |
