Paulist Press Classics of Western Spirituality

Judaism

Two decades ago Paulist Press committed itself to a publishing venture that would make available to the reading public accessible and modern translations of the Classics of Western Spirituality. Primarily focused on the Abrahamic traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, although there was also material on the indigenous religions of the Americas, the series now has over one hundred titles in print. All the volumes have lucid introductions which place the author and text in their cultural and religious contexts, suggestions for further reading, and helpful indexes. Translations and commentaries are written by well-known scholars. These texts are not only "user-friendly," but have been and continue to be valuable resources in the secondary classroom. Current volumes available for Jewish spirituality are:

Abraham Isaak Kook
Abraham Miguel Cardozo
The Classic Midrash
The Early Kabbalah
Elijah Benamozegh
Isaiah Horowitz
Jewish Mystical Autobiographies
Mehahem Nahum of Chernobyl
Nahman of Bratslav
