| 1. |  | Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism from Schocken Price: $12.24 Customer Review:  Though some of its conclusions have been questioned or corrected by later scholars like Moshe Idel, this is still the best overall guide for the general reader.

| 6. |  | The Messianic Idea in Judaism: And Other Essays on Jewish Spirituality from Schocken Price: $12.21 Customer Review: A fascinating collection of lectures. The discussion of some of the more bizarre, and yet intellectual followers of Shabtai Zvi into the 20th century is amazing.
