Negative Positive
Title: Narrow and compilative overview of Judaic mysticism
Review: The book is written by the former President of the Israeli Academy of Sciences. It reflects traditional Orthodox view on the greatest pages in the Jewish history - Qabbalah, Shabtay Zvi and Hasidism, with a slight covering of scientific speculations. Qabbalah is described without any connection or association with the Egyptian or Chaldean mysticism. No word is said about the great Jewish gnostics. The only question is if the author consciously lies or subconsciously avoids problems, which still remain out of the Israeli national concensus.
Is the review positive or negative?
