      abstract = {The article develops a concept of “secular religiosity” to  characterize “post-traditional” Jewish affiliation as an  individual and private matter, which the sociologist Peter  Berger casts as a “heretical imperative” to make  autonomous, individual choices. The waning of the  heteronomous authority of rabbinic Judaism, yielded  theological and hermeneutic strategies to address the  “secular religiosity” of individuals who sought to affirm  distinctive Jewish spiritual and devotional practices. The  article concludes by adumbrating two contrasting  paradigmatic strategies exemplified by Franz Rosenzweig and  Martin Buber respectively.},
