What does lived religion look like in the 21st century? Against the
polarizations of old and new, religion and secularism, theory and
practice, a cadre of internationally renowned scholars interrogate
the ways spiritual ideas and practices remain transformative in
contemporary society. Concepts of self, community, education,
aging, love, law and morality, of inner and outer modes of action
and experience, abound. The Jewish mystical tradition, especially
the contemporary movement of Habad Hasidism, embodies an
intersection of the particular and the universal that speaks to
wider crises in the governing assumptions of western culture and
scientific disciplines. These essays exemplify the kind of radical
interdisciplinarity that can move through these crises and beyond
them, militating against academic hegemonies through the inclusion
of indigenous Hasidic voices who speak with equal authority.
