Critical Approaches to Religion: Race, Class, Sexuality, and Gender
provides students with carefully selected readings that examine
diverse cultural religious traditions, as well as the intersection
of academic religious studies and the practice of religion
throughout the world. The anthology explores both mainstream
religious traditions and those that are marginalized, applying
theories of feminism, sexuality, race, class, and gender across the
board to offer readers a broad and comprehensive understanding of
global religion. Through selections authored by prolific writers in
the field, coupled with insights from the editors for additional
context, students learn about critical approaches to religion, the
various methods of studying religion, the concept of belief, the
connection of myth to ritual, the idea of mysticism, how gender and
sexuality factor into religious experiences, and more.
Cross-disciplinary in nature, Critical Approaches to Religion is
designed to serve as a supplementary text for foundational courses
in religion, world religion, anthropology, sociology, and history.
Rape Culture and Religious Studies: Critical and Pedagogical
Engagements stages a critical engagement between religious texts
and the problem of sexual violence. Rape and other forms of sexual
violence are widespread on college and university campuses; they
also occur in sacred texts and religious traditions. The volume
addresses these difficult intersections as they play out in texts,
traditions, and university contexts. The volume gathers
contributions from religious studies scholars to engage these
questions from a variety of institutional contexts and to offer a
constructive assessment of religious texts and traditions.
