    More religious criticism and theory from Harold Bloom. Things get quite mystical herein, and my eyes tend to glaze over when Bloom starts talking about gnosticism and the Kabballah and the like... I prefer Bloom when he is focused on literature, but he is always, always fascinating and worth reading.
