Judaica I / Judaica I
The first volume of Gershom Scholem's scholarly overview of some of the key themes in Jewish thought
Scholarly research has secured Gershom Scholem‘s prominent place among the interpreters of Judaism and the Jewish past. Just like his standard works on Jewish mysticism and the Kabbalah, the shorter texts collected here deal with problems of the idiosyncratic Jewish piety and its many forms of expression. Readers learn how to interpret the messianic idea, the symbol of the Shield of David, Hasidism, the legend of the hidden 36 righteous people.
