Annotation Examines and interprets pre-kabbalistic Jewish mysticism as religion rather than as literature, as most modern studies do. For the Hekhalot or Merkavah schools, considers the conceptions of God, the angels, and man; and the framework of the Judaic world view in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
