Piety and Rebellion : Essays in Hasidism Paperback / softback
by Shaul Magid
Part of the New Perspectives in Post-Rabbinic Judaism series
Paperback / softback
Description
Piety and Rebellion examines the span of the Hasidic textual tradition from its earliest phases to the 20th century.
The essays collected in this volume focus on the tension between Hasidic fidelity to tradition and its rebellious attempt to push the devotional life beyond the borders of conventional religious practice.
Many of the essays exhibit a comparative perspective deployed to better articulate the innovative spirit, and traditional challenges, Hasidism presents to the traditional Jewish world.
Piety and Rebellion is an attempt to present Hasidism as one case whereby maximalist religion can yield a rebellious challenge to conventional conceptions of religious thought and practice.
