"These delightful tales, terse, vigorous, often cryptic, are the true texts of Hasidism—the impassioned religious movement which swept Eastern Europe in the 18th century, and still with us today. They are legendary anecdotes, that is to say, single incidents so cleanly hulled from the mass of the irrelevant, that each illumines an entire destiny. The Zaddikim, the masters, of whom these tales are told, are full-bodied personalities; yet their lives seem almost symbolic. Through them is expressed the intensity and holy joy whereby God becomes visible in everything. To know the religious philosophy of Martin Buber one must have read these TALES OF THE HASIDISM. When Buber defines religion as the constant and intimate dialogue between Man and God he is simply reaffirming this Hasidic belief in the everyday conjunction of the natural and the Divine."-Publisher.

In Religious Stories in Transformation: Conflict, Revision and Reception , the editors present a collection of essays that reveal both the many similarities and the poignant differences between ancient myths in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and modern secular culture and how these stories were incorporated and adapted over time. This rich multidisciplinary research demonstrates not only how stories in different religions and cultures are interesting in their own right, but also that the process of transformation in particular deserves scholarly interest. It is through the changes in the stories that the particular identity of each religion comes to the fore most strikingly.
