Interested faculty should read it and assign it to their student ... Highly recommended.--S. T. Katz<br><br>A fascinating and richly textured work that combines linguistic and literary acumen with a historian of religion's interest in the phenomenology of mysticism and a poet's sensitivity to language.

This is the rare book that should matter equally to specialists in the field and to serious lay readers and students.--Elliot K. Ginsburg "University of Michigan"<br><br>Dr. Hellner-Eshed's book is a truly groundbreaking study of the mystical dimension of the <i>Zohar</i>, the masterpiece of Kabbalah.
