Kabbalah
An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism
Byron Sherwin's Rowman & Littlefield introduction explains Kabbalah's history, central concepts and practices for students and general readers. He covers the sefirot, mystical prayer, the golem, the problem of evil and Kabbalah's place in modern Jewish life. Balanced and readable, it is a solid academic primer for readers coming to the subject for the first time.
