While many aspects of Sonship have been analyzed in books on
Judaism, this book constitutes the first attempt to address the
category of Sonship in Jewish mystical literature as a whole - a
category much more vast than ever imagined. Idel's aim is to point
out the many instances where Jewish thinkers, especially the
mystics among them, resorted to concepts of Sonship and their
conceptual backgrounds, and thus to show the existence of a wide
variety of understandings of hypostatic sons in Judaism. By this
survey, not only can the mystical forms of Sonship in Judaism be
better understood, but the concept of Sonship in religion in
general can also be enriched. "The Kogod Library of Judaic Studies"
aims to publish new research in all areas of Judaic studies with
the potential to both enrich and deepen the understanding of Jewish
culture and history and to influence and mould Jewish life and
philosophy. The series reflects the existence of plural Jewish
identities and streams involved in a lively and continuous
multi-vocal religious discourse, and in creating a cultural mosaic.
