Through a lifetime of passionate scholarship, Gershom Scholem
(1897-1982) uncovered the "domains of tradition hidden under the
debris of centuries" and made the history of Jewish mysticism and
messianism comprehensible and relevant to current Jewish
thought.
In this paperback edition of his definitive book on Scholem's
work, David Biale has shortened and rearranged his study for the
benefit of the general reader and the student. A new introduction
and new passages in the main text highlight the pluralistic
character of Jewish theology as seen by Scholem, the place of the
Kabbalah in debates over Zionism versus assimilation, and the
interpretation of Kafka as a Jewish writer.
