Recenzii
’While understanding religion in everyday life is a growing field relevant to numerous disciplines, its intersection with gender and sexuality is less well-documented. This edited collection breaks considerable new ground and will be of interest to both scholars and students alike by offering contributions from leading researchers engaged with these themes across several traditional faiths as well as emergent spiritualities.’ Stephen Hunt, University of the West of England, UK ’This volume begins with the everyday life of sexual subjects from different faiths and backgrounds, and then moves to the broader questions which these real lives pose for an understanding of religion, gender and sexuality, and the intersection between each. The chapters are remarkably fresh, kaleidoscopic in scope and essential reading for students and researchers alike.’ Adrian Thatcher, University of Exeter, UK 'Overall, this collection makes important contributions across multiple subdisciplines in the fields of religious studies and social science. The project is successful in supplying strong and unique data about contemporary experiences at the intersection of gender and sexuality, religious and secular identifications, public and private domains.' Journal of Contemporary Religion '... the wealth of empirical research on which it draws is fresh and wide-ranging ... the collection is a valuable contribution to the literature and of particular interest to scholars of theology, gender, and sexuality for its conviction that religion and nonstandard sex-gender identity do not always make incompatible bedfellows.'

Descriere
Exploring the intersection between religion, gender and sexuality within the context of everyday life, this volume examines contested identities, experiences, bodies and desires on the individual and collective levels. With rich case studies from the UK, USA, Europe, and Asia, Religion, Gender and Sexuality in Everyday Life sheds light on the manner in which individuals appropriate, negotiate, transgress, invert and challenge the norms and models of various religions in relation to gender and sexuality, and vice versa.
