«Every now and then one comes upon a gem of an academic book which deserves a wide audience. This superb collection of articles about the mysticisms of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is just such a gem. The essays range widely in the field, some being state of the problem review articles, others technical discussions of thematic issues in a tradition. All are historically context sensitive and theoretically sophisticated treatments of the features of mysticism. Highly recommended.» (The Reader's Review)
