Jewish Mysticism. The Infinite Expression of Freedom

Sobre el libro Jewish Mysticism. The Infinite Expression of Freedom de Rachel Elior publicado por Littman al 2007:

The corpus of Jewish mystical writings has developed over thousands of years in different parts of the world. Its creators sought to discover hidden realms that would shed light on existing reality. The literature they created, one of the central sources of inspiration of religious thought, comprises hundreds of volumes. This masterly investigation of the Jewish mystical phenomenon, from antiquity to the twentieth century, contextualizes it in the spiritual and historical circumstances in which it evolved.
