Description
This volume presents an abridged edition of Erwin Goodenough's 13-volume work, an attempt to encompass human spiritual history in general through the study of Jewish symbols in particular. Revealing that the Jewish religion of the Greco-Roman period was much more varied and complex than the extant Talmudic literature would lead us to believe, Goodenough offers evidence for the existence of a Hellenistic-Jewish mystic mythology far closer to the Qabbalah than to rabbinical Judaism.
