With contributions from some of the most prominent voices writing
on gender, law and religion today, this book illuminates some of
the conflicts at the intersection of feminism, theology and law. It
examines a range of themes from the viewpoint of identifiable
traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, from
a theoretical and practical perspective. Among the themes discussed
are the cross-over between religious and secular values and
assumptions in the search for a just jurisprudence for women, the
application of theological insights from religious traditions to
legal issues at the core of feminist work, feminist legal readings
of scriptural texts on women's rights and the place that religious
law has assigned to women in ecclesiastic life. Feminists of faith
face challenges from many sides: patriarchal remnants in their own
tradition, dismissal of their faith commitments by secular
feminists and balancing the conflicting loyalties of their lives.
The book will be essential reading for legal and religious
academics and students working in the area of gender and law or law
and religion.
