Hasidism as Mysticism – Quietistic Elements in Eighteenth Century Hasidic Thought (Princeton Legacy Library) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Offered here for the first time in English translation, Hasidism as Mysticism is a classic in its field. Using the tools of phenomenology, Rivka Schatz Uffenheimer places Hasidism squarely in the context of religious studies. Hasidisms theoretical texts have been largely ignored by historians of the movement, but Shatz Uffenheimer analyses these materials fully, disclosing the mystical, quietistic tendencies that existed alongside Hasidisms more activist popular elements. The author carefully reviewed this translation of her work: it includes a revised introduction with new material, two new chapters, and an appendix containing a translation, history and literary analysis of one of the few extant texts attributed to the Baal Shem Tov.

Review
"A great strength of this interesting and rewarding book is the rich documentation: through the many quotations from the Hasidic literature the reader comes away with a good sense of the toneof Hasidic teaching and preaching."--Theological Book Review

Hardcover. First English language edition. Quarto. 398pp. Purple and blue dust jacket, with white and black lettering on the front cover and spine. Maroon buckram boards with gilt lettering on the spine. The first English translation of Uffenheimer's classic work, originally published in Hebrew in 1968. In this examination of Hasidic thought, the author focuses on the contemplative aspects of Hasidism, rather than petitionary prayer. This edition of the work includes a revised introduction and two new chapters by the authors, as well as an appendix, containing a translation, history and analysis of one of the few extant text attributed to the Ba'al Shem Tov (the founder of Hasidic Judaism). Dust jacket with sunning to extremities, including the spine. Interior with sticker of the previous owner on the interior front cover. Dust jacket in very good-, binding and interior in near fine condition overall. Seller Inventory # 47285
