Or do its sources reflect significant attempts at addressing the individual's inner life, existential crises and spiritual experiences?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eInner Religion in Jewish Sources\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive exploration of inner life in the Jewish sources from the Bible to rabbinic literature, from Medieval Jewish philosophy to Kabbalistic writings and the Hasidic world, where it gained particularly potent expressions. Addressing the issue from the perspective of comparative religion, it seeks to emphasize the commonality of processes of interiorization in various religious traditions, suggesting an innovative angle both in the study of religion and of religious thought. In doing so, it sheds new light on the inner aspect of Jewish religious life, which is all too often hidden behind the external and institutional aspects of the Jewish religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart One: Ritual and Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRitual Interiorization and Intent for Commandments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Two: Emotion, Sensation, and Experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: The Meaning of Ecstatic Experience and Mystical Experience in the Study of Religion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProphecy, Dreams, and Other Paranormal Experiences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntrospective Contemplation and Inward Focusing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Three: Thinking about the Inner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Interiorization in Religious Thought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Conceptual Interiorization of Myth and Law\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExistential Aspects of Inner Religious Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpistemological Interiorization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterword: The Immanent Testimony to the Transcendental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359908692311,"sku":"9781644694299","price":90.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781644694299.jpg?v=1754126082","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/inner-religion-in-jewish-sources-a-phenomenology-of-inner-religious-life-and-its-manifestation-from-the-bible-to-hasidic-texts-9781644694299","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
