Jewish Mysticism & Kabbalah

The Hidden and Manifest God

Some Major Themes in Early Jewish Mysticism

by Peter Schäfer · Aubrey Pomerance (trans.)

Peter Schäfer, the leading editor of the Hekhalot corpus, analyses the main themes of these texts: God's enthroned glory, angels, the heavenly liturgy, the adept's ascent and the adjuration of the Prince of Torah. This SUNY study shows the Hekhalot literature as a distinct body with its own theology and ritual aims. Essential for Merkavah studies.
