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.
