The dawn of the modern age posed challenges to all of the world's religions - and since then, religions have countered with challenges to modernity. In Religious Responses to Modernity, seven leading scholars from Germany and Israel explore specific instances of the face-off between religious thought and modernity, in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. As co-editor Christoph Markschies remarks in his Foreword, it may seem almost trivial to say that different religions, and the various currents within them, have reacted in very different ways to the "multiple modernities" described by S.N. Eisenstadt. However, things become more interesting when the comparative perspective leads us to discover surprising similarities. Disparate encounters are connected by their transnational or national perspectives, with the one side criticizing in the interest of rationality as a model of authorization, and the other presenting revelation as a critique of a depraved form of rationality. The thoughtful essays presented herein, by Simon Gerber, Johannes Zachhuber, Jonathan Garb, Rivka Feldhay, Paul Mendes-Flohr, Israel Gershoni and Christoph Schmidt, provide a counterweight to the popularity of some all-too-simplified models of modernization.

"Werden wir unsere Gehirne bald mit dem Web fusionieren und unsere lebendigen Erinnerungen durch kommerzielle Clouds administrieren lassen? Die digitale Revolution hat die modernen Gegensätze von Natürlichem und Künstlichem, Fakten und Werten als Mythos entlarvt und die ethischen Navigationssysteme unserer Demokratien kollabieren lassen. Was als erstrebenswerte Zukunft galt, entscheiden jetzt Venture-Kapitalisten und Sci-Fi Nurds, die das 'Informationsobjekt Mensch' je nach Marktlage neu 'konfigurieren'. Während die Kirchen mit sich selbst beschäftigt sind, erleben wir den rasanten Aufstieg der mächtigsten Idolatrie der Menschheitsgeschichte: des Kults um die 'Superintelligenz'. Diese Herausforderung verlangt eine Revision der Weichenstellungen der vergangenen 700 Jahre, die unser humanistisch ausgedünntes Menschenbild als 'rational' erscheinen ließen. Die Würde des Menschen hängt am Faden spiritueller 'Selbstechnologien', die unseren Sinn für das Heilige wieder lebendig werden lassen"--

In this book Tatiana Zachar Podolinská explores how post-modern Marian devotion represents both the continuation and restoration of tradition in the modern world. Podolinská illuminates how Mary as a Great Enchantress has colonised the modern world and survived mandatory atheism in communist countries. The resilience of Marian devotion in the face of the secularising forces of modernity is due to how fluidly it mixes pre-modern and ultra-modern elements of beliefs and practices with the grassroot current of post-modern Christianity. At the same time, Podolinská elucidates how Mary has become the voice of peripheral ethnic groups and nations. This book specifically explains the devotion of the post-modern Mary among the Roma in Slovakia and explores how this community copes with marginalisation, creating islands of marginal centrality. By approaching the ethnicised and enculturated forms of the Virgin Mary (i.e. Chocolate Marys), the book illuminates her potential for helping the Slovak Roma on their own path from the periphery to the center.
