Spirit Possession in Judaism: Cases and Contexts from the Middle Ages to the PresentGoldish has edited an extremely important collection of essays that promises to radically transform the way many people view Judaism. One of the volume's most useful features is its wide historical scope. This collection explores different forms of possession, including dybbuk (malevolent possession), the best-known phenomenon; and lesser-known types such as ibbur (impregnation), gilgul (reincarnation), and maggid (angelic mentor). |
