How do religion, gender and sexuality interact? How have they
impacted, and continue to impact, human culture? The Bloomsbury
Reader in Religion, Sexuality and Gender brings together, for the
first time, the key texts in the field. Designed as a textbook for
use in a classroom setting, it offers thought-provoking selections
of some of the most compelling and timely readings available today.
The Reader is divided into three parts (bodies; desires;
performances). Each considers, from a thematic perspective, the
ways in which people have made sense of their religious and sexual
experiences, the ways they imagine and talk about gender, sex and
the sacred, and the multiple meanings they ascribe to them.
Traditions represented include indigenous spiritualities,
Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Asian traditions and new religious
movements. Some readings are more theoretical or historical in
nature, thereby providing wide-ranging contexts for reflection and
discussion. The reader includes extensive introductions to the book
as a whole and to each of the three parts, as well as short
paragraphs contextualizing each of the readings. Each section
includes discussion questions for classroom use; additional
readings and resources, as well as a glossary of key terms, are
also provided. The Bloomsbury Reader in Religion, Sexuality and
Gender is an ideal resource for courses on religion and sexuality,
religion and gender, or religion and contemporary culture more
generally.
