Unlock the Mysteries of Jewish Mysticism
Most scholars of Judaism take the term ‘Jewish mysticism’ for granted, but this book challenges the essentialist perceptions that underlie it.
The Evolution of Jewish Mysticism
Mystifying Kabbalah studies the major developments in the academic study of Jewish mysticism and its impact on modern Kabbalistic movements in the contexts of Jewish nationalism and New Age spirituality.
A Critical Examination
Boaz Huss argues that Jewish mysticism is a modern discursive construct and that the identification of Kabbalah and Hasidism as forms of mysticism has shaped the way they are perceived and studied today.
Exposing the Mystification
This book clarifies the historical, cultural, and political contexts that led to the identification of Kabbalah and Hasidism as Jewish mysticism, exposing the underlying ideological and theological presuppositions.
