Its authority as a primary source is Kook's own authorship, and the translation's authority rests on Bokser's standing as a recognised scholar of Jewish thought and the series' own editorial standards. It presents Kook's own words in translation, not an independent critical study of his theology, which needs a separate scholarly source.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (12 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Abraham Isaac Kook's collected writings, translated by Ben Zion Bokser for Paulist Press's Classics of Western Spirituality series, the top tier reflecting Kook's own authorship and Bokser's standing as a recognised scholar of Jewish thought under the series' own editorial standards.
