Kabbalah: Secrecy, Scandal and the Soul by Harry Freedman has a salacious title that only half fits the book, but overall Freedman takes us on a fine journey of Jewish mysticism through the ages. The book is a standout as it explores both Jewish manifestations of the Kabbalah, and the Christian, Reformation and metaphysical counter-parts, usually spelled with a “C”. This gives us a rare treat: an incisive overview of the topic from the earliest times to the New Age.
