Ascensions on high took many forms in Jewish mysticism and they
permeated most of its history from its inception until Hasidism.
The book surveys the various categories, with an emphasis on the
architectural images of the ascent, like the resort to images of
pillars, lines, and ladders. After surveying the variety of
scholarly approaches to religion, the author also offers what he
proposes as an eclectic approach, and a perspectivist one. The
latter recommends to examine religious phenomena from a variety of
perspectives. The author investigates the specific issue of the
pillar in Jewish mysticism by comparing it to the archaic resort to
pillars recurring in rural societies. Given the fact that the
ascent of the soul and pillars constituted the concerns of two main
Romanian scholars of religion, Ioan P. Culianu and Mircea Eliade,
Idel resorts to their views, and in the Concluding Remarks analyzes
the emergence of Eliade's vision of Judaism on the basis of
neglected sources.
