Reviews for Circle in the Square: Studies in the Use of Gender in Kabbalistic Symbolism

"""A tour de force in terms of historical range, analytic boldness, textual sources, and interpretive constructions. An important contribution in every sense to Jewish thought and interpretation."" - Michael Fishbane, University of Chicago ""Wolfson has a knack for selecting particularly difficult texts and elucidating them for the reader."" - Daniel Matt, Graduate Theological Union"
