As Light Before Dawn by Eitan Fishbane
The Inner World of a Medieval Kabbalist
A scholarly exploration of the lived inner world of a thirteenth-century kabbalist and his circle, tracing how prayer, meditation, ethical discipline, and ascetic practice cultivated an intimate bond with the divine. Drawing on close readings of Hebrew mystical texts, it maps the religious emotions of yearning, love, awe, joy, and tears, and shows how metaphysical ideas about emanation and cleaving to God shaped daily devotion and spiritual transformation.
