On the Kabbalah and its symbolism
Zur Kabbala und ihrer Symbolik
Bok av Gershom Gerhard Scholem
Scholem guides readers through the central themes in the intricate history of the Kabbalah, clarifying the relations between mysticism and established religious authority, the mystics' interpretation of the Torah and their attempts to discover the hidden meaning underlying Scripture, the tension between the philosophical and mystical concepts of God, and the symbolism employed in mystical religion.
