Spirit Possession in Judaism: Cases and Contexts from the Middle Ages to the PresentMatt Goldish Wayne State University Press, 2003 - 476 páginas A rich, multidisciplinary exploration of spirit possession among Jews. This extraordinary collection of essays is the first to approach the phenomenon of spirit possession among Jews from a multidisciplinary perspective. What beliefs have Jews held about spirit possession? Have Jewish people believed themselves to be possessed by spirits? If so, what sorts of spirits were they? Have Jews' conceptions of possession been the same as those of their Christian and Muslim neighbors? These are some of the questions addressed in these thirteen essays, which together explore spirit possession in a wide range of temporal and geographic contexts. |
