After Spirituality: Studies in Mystical Traditions is the first
volume in a new series of the same name. The book is devoted to the
comparative study of contemporary mysticism, bringing together
papers presented as part of the 2008-2009 research group on the
sociology of contemporary Jewish mysticism in comparative
perspective, convened at the Institute of Advanced Studies in
Jerusalem. Chapters written by leading scholars of Jewish, Buddhist
and Christian Mysticism address the dramatic global proliferation
and transformation of mystical traditions in recent decades. The
volume seeks to establish the study of contemporary mysticism on a
sound scholarly basis, employing the analytical tools of the social
sciences, and using comparative methods in order to gain global
perspective. This important volume will be suited for courses on
contemporary or classical mysticism, comparative religion,
sociology and anthropology of contemporary culture, psychology of
religion, Jewish studies and Buddhist studies and social theory.
