De Gruyter “Who Am I to Judge?”: Homosexuality and the
Book SynopsisThe Catholic Church still takes an ambivalent stance toward homosexuality, declaring that homosexuals should be respected and not discriminated against while morally condemning their intimate relationships. This volume presents exegetical, theological, and ethical arguments as well as evidence from the human sciences to advocate for the recognition of homosexuality as a natural variant of the human capacities to love and to form relationships.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG More than a Provocation: Sexuality, Media and
Book SynopsisSex, Media and theology a provocative mix. Reactions can vary from rejection to openness and curiosity. This volume follows the latter path: on the background of changes in contemporary sexual culture and theological developments in the reflection on sexuality, three media internet, advertising and film are analysed with respect of their representation of sexuality and their contribution to theological reflections on sex. This shows: sex in media is more than a provocation; it provides an inspiration for theological thinking about human beings, their relationships with others, and also with God.

NIAS Press Dieties and Divas: Queer Ritual Specialists in
Book SynopsisIn central Thailand, a flamboyantly turbaned gay medium for the Hindu god of the underworld posts Facebook selfies of himself hugging and kissing a young man. In Myanmar’s largest city Yangon, a one-time member of a gay NGO dons an elaborate wedding dress to be ritually married to a possessing female spirit; he believes she will offer more support for his gay lifestyle than the path of LGBTQ activism. The only son of a Chinese trading family in Bangkok finds acceptance for his homosexuality and crossdressing when he becomes the medium for a revered female Chinese deity. And in northern Thailand, female mediums smoke, drink, flaunt butch masculine poses and flirt with female followers when they are ritually possessed by male warrior deities. Across the Buddhist societies of mainland Southeast Asia, local queer cultures are at the center of a recent proliferation of professional spirit mediumship. Drawing on detailed ethnographies and extensive comparative research, Deities and Divas captures this variety and ferment. The first book to trace commonalities between queer and religious cultures in Southeast Asia and the West, it reveals how modern gay, trans and spirit medium communities all emerge from a shared formative matrix of capitalism and new media. With insights and analysis that transcend the modern opposition of religion vs secularity, it provides fascinating new perspectives in transnational cultural, religious and queer studies.

Peeters Publishers Family's Many Faces - La famille au pluriel:
Book SynopsisThe diversity of family models presents great challenges for contemporary Christians, from ethical point of view, as well as the spiritual level and the living together. Family patterns are in continuous mutation which is a potential source of conflict. Many scholars, including sociologists, theologians, psychologists, and philosophers take this subject to heart. They meet to discuss a number of issues concerning the family: the forms of contemporary family, the future of the family or families, their challenges and needs. This book is to promote conversation about the family between secular perspectives and Christian approaches. In three parts, this volume deals with current research in the field of human sciences. The first part discusses the structural dimension, treating the impact of attachment theory, analyzing the investigations concerning family separation and taking into consideration contemporary parenting ethical issues. In the second part, relevant ethical, pastoral and psychological issues related to contemporary tensions in the field are processed. As for the third part, it seeks the indices, the spiritual and therapeutic pathways in the heart of the great diversity that is lived. La diversité de modèles familiaux contemporains présente de grands défis aux chrétiens, de point de vue éthique, spirituel ainsi qu'au niveau du vivre-ensemble. Les modéles familiaux sont en mutation continue. Par ce fait même, cette mutation est une source potentielle de conflit. Plusieurs penseurs, sociologues, théologiens, psychologues et philosophes, prennent à c÷ur ce sujet. Chercheurs, universitaires et practiciens se réunissent pour échanger sur de multiples questions concernant la famille contemporaine plurielle, ses formes, son avenir, ses défis et ses besoins. Ce collectif favorise la conversation au sujet de la famille entre les perspectives séculières et les approches de la tradition chrétienne. Dans ses trois parties, il tient à l'articulation très précise des recherches actuelles dans le domaine des sciences humaines. La première partie évoque une dimension plus structurale et traite des impacts des théories de l'attachement, analyse les enquêtes concernant la famille et la séparation et prend en compte des questions éthiques contemporaines autour de la parentalité. Dans la deuxième partie, des questions éthiques, pastorales et psychologiques liées aux champs où elles s'exercent sont traitées. Quant à la troisième partie, elle cherche des indices, des chemins spirituels et thérapeutiques au c÷ur même de la grande diversité qui se vit.

Foundation Press Valuable: Discovering the Biblical Message
Book SynopsisHave you ever wondered how Eve experienced the new world God created at the beginning of time? Or what Hagar went through as a slave girl bearing the child of her owner? And how Martha felt when Jesus seemed to favour her lazy sister? This Bible study book is about women, written by women and for women. It is a tool to discover and apply the life lessons from women in the bible in our daily lives. Based on stories about women in the Bible, daily practical examples from African context and the discovery of biblical values, we hope that our sisters recognise themselves in it and that this may strengthen our faith, help in the struggles of everyday and above all that we may know we are valued by God.

NUS Press Indonesian Women and Local Politics: Islam,
Book SynopsisThis book addresses factors behind the rise and victory of Javanese Muslim women political leaders in direct local elections in post-Suharto Indonesia. By using gender perspectives, this book reveals that the role of Islam, gender, and networks are decisive to their political victory. The Islamic belief on female leadership at the local level, exemplified by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) as the dominant religious organization in Java, provides a strong religious foundation for Javanese Muslim women politicians to assume political leadership. Ability to use their gender in combination with the idea and practice of Islamic piety, and to use religio-political support and male/female base networks in political campaign, is significant. Analysis of the Javanese Muslim women political leaders’ commitment on women’s issues, however, reveals that having a female leader does not guarantee that they will exhibit women’s perspectives in their policies.Trade Review"...the book is a valuable contribution filling an important gap in the literature and should be on the reading lists of those interested in the issues of women studies and local politics in developing countries."Asian Journal
