Recurrent Themes: Gender, Messianism and Experience?; Appendix; Glossary; Bibliography; IndexReviews'While the study of Kabbalah in both scholarly and popular circles remains vibrant, until now there has not been a history of Modern Kabbalah stretching from the sixteenth century. With his usual deep learning, conceptual rigor, and lucidity, Jonathan Garb offers a broad and creative rendering of how Jewish Kabbalah developed from the Lurianic circle to New Age Religion and the late modern commodification of mysticism. Garb deftly navigates through the early period to draw out the threads that will become emblematic in modernity. A major contribution to the study of Kabbalah and the History of Religions more generally.' Shaul Magid, Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College Author InformationJonathan Garb is the Gershom Scholem Professor of Kabbalah at the Hebrew University.
