Book Synopsis Mystical Resistance by : Ellen Davina Haskell
Book excerpt: Mystical Resistance reveals the kabbalistic masterpiece Sefer ha-Zohar, commonly known as the Zohar, as a rich source for understanding Jewish resistance to Christian authority. Composed against a backdrop of rising religious intolerance, the Zohar's subversive mystical narratives critique the changing relationship between Western Europe's Christian majority and its Jewish minority.
