Kabbalah

Assembled largely from Scholem's articles for the Encyclopaedia Judaica, this volume functions as a comprehensive reference to Kabbalah. The first part offers a historical overview of the tradition's development, while the second treats its central ideas, including the sefirot, the problem of evil, the soul and transmigration, and practical Kabbalah, followed by entries on key figures and movements. Dense and authoritative, it is best used as a scholarly companion for study and research.
