*** Apologies for cross-posting ***
Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to let you know that Contemporary Alternative Spiritualities in Israel, co-edited by myself and Prof. James R. Lewis (University of Tromsø, Norway), has finally been published by Palgrave Macmillan, as part of their 'Palgrave Studies in New Religions and Alternative Spiritualities' series.
This volume is the first English-language anthology to engage with the fascinating phenomena of recent surges in New Age and alternative spiritualties in Israel. It covers a variety of groups and movements, such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy, Neopaganism, Channeling, Women’s Yoga, the New Age festival scene, and even Pentecostal churches among African labor migrants living in Tel Aviv. Chapters also explore more Jewish-oriented practices such as Neo-Kabballah, Neo-Hassidism, and alternative marriage ceremonies, as well as the use of spiritual care providers in Israeli hospitals. In addition, contributors take a close look at the state’s reaction to the recent activities and growth of new religious movements.
Palgrave Macmillan have generously allowed me to upload the volume’s Introduction to my blog and Academia.edu page, and I hope it will leave you wanting more and help you in deciding to purchase the book :-)
Please kindly spread the word among relevant colleagues, and when possible - recommend your institutional library to purchase the anthology. If you wish to receive a review copy you can click here and contact the publisher.
Many thanks,
Dr. Shai Feraro (Tel Aviv University).
