Zohar, the book of enlightenment

'Translation and introduction by Daniel Chanan Matt.'. 'Preface by Arthur Green.'

Introduction. The ten sefirot. How to look at Torah. Zohar on Genesis. Zohar on Exodus. Zohar on Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy

'Zohar--"the book of Splendor, Radiance, Enlightenment"--has fascinated readers from its first appearance in thirteenth-century Spain until today. It is the major text of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition...It was not until our own century that critical scholarship demonstrated that the book's author was Moses de Leon....His mosaic of Scripture, Midrash, medieval homily, fiction, and fantasy presents what Professor Daniel Matt describes as "a challenge to the normal workings of consciousness [that] dares one to examine one's assumptions about tradition, God, and self."'
