It contains new introductory and concluding chapters as well as a Bibliography and updated Index. Furthermore, substantial corrections, updates, and changes have been made in the original text. The changes concern matters of language and style, they nuance the line of argumentation, and they update the discussion of major issues. The new chapters fill several scholarly gaps that have opened since the initial publication of this book in 1980. The new Introductory Chapter explores new venues and issues in the study and assessment of the Hekhalot literature and relevant passages in apocalyptic literature, and this in light of epistemological and ontological considerations. The Concluding Chapter discusses the ritual praxis of the experience of the Hekhalot mystics and its affitnity to magic, and this in terms of new approaches to ritual theory. 410 0$aAncient Judaism and early Christianity ;$vVolume 90. 606 $aMysticism$xJudaism 606 $aApocalyptic literature 606 $aThrone of God 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMysticism$xJudaism. 615 0$aApocalyptic literature. 615 0$aThrone of God. 676 $a296.7/12 700 $aGruenwald$b Ithamar$0971357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463774103321 996 $aApocalyptic and Merkavah mysticism$92208150 997 $aUNINA
