Princeton: Pantheon Books. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. Bollingen Series; 282, 60 (plates) pages; Clean and secure in original red cloth binding in very nice dustjacket. Edited by Jacob Neusner from the 13-volume work, including 60 pages of the original illustrations, an updated reading list, and an index. Goodenough presented evidence for the existence of a Hellenistic-Jewish mystic mythology far closer to the Qabbalah than to rabbinical Judaism. From the Kabbalah Mysticism to the Temple in Jerusalem to the Ark the painted walls in Dura Synagogue in Syria. Were they Essenes in exile, Jewish Christians? Jewish mystery Cult or perhaps just an aspect of Judaism few bothered to explore, Absolutely beautiful painting of Biblical figures like Moses and his mother....Not only do you have enhanced art missing in quality from the original set but you have Jewish historian and expert author on the Jewish Jesus 'Jacob Neusner' edit with his new commentary. .
