KlappentextThe book is devoted to the comparative study of contemporary mysticism. Chapters written by leading scholars of Jewish, Buddhist and Christian Mysticism address the dramatic global proliferation and transformation of mystical traditions in recent decades. This volume is suited for courses on contemporary or classical mysticism, comparative religion, Jewish studies and Buddhist studies and more.
Zusatztext«Philip Wexler and Jonathan Garb have assembled an astonishing collection. Mysticism in society, culture, history, tradition: the contributors' formulations of these interrelated realities address not only contingency but eternity. Juxtaposing remembrance and technology, confession and testimony, secrecy and the sacred, informing politics, sexuality and gender, this volume is ';spreading the wellsprings' and not only of Hasidism. As Wexler suggests, ';symbolic interaction' becomes ';cosmic interaction'. The book - and the important series it inaugurates - promises to achieve nothing less.» (William F. Pinar, Canada Research Chair, University of British Columbia)
