The Crisis of the Holy makes an important and original contribution to a field that has been well researched and written about the impact of modernity on religion. By adopting a double perspective that of an external, observation-based one and an internal, reflective and theologically oriented one, the collection breaks new ground concerning the possibility of new creative and meaningful forms of religion emerging out of the modern 'crisis of the holy.'--Shlomo Fischer, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
