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.

Brill Everyday Life and the Sacred: Re/configuring Gender Studies in Religion
Book SynopsisAn interdisciplinary gender-sensitive approach toward perspectives on the everyday and the sacred are the hallmark of this volume. Looking beyond the dualistic status-quo, the authors probe the categories, textures, powers, and practices that define how we experience, embody, and understand religion and the sacred, their interconnection, but also disassociation with the secular. Contributions by an international group of feminist theologians and religious studies scholars aim to re-configure the study of both religion and gender: Angela Berlis, Anne-Marie Korte, Kune Biezeveld , Helga Kuhlmann, Maaike de Haardt, Akke van der Kooi, Dorothea Erbele-Kuster, Willien van Wieringen, Magda Misset-van de Weg, Ge Speelman, Mathilde van Dijk, Jacqueline Borsje, Hedwig Meyer-Wilmes, Goedroen Juchtmans, Alma Lanser and Riet Bons-Storm.Trade Review"[T]he volume is abundant and rich in the variety of disciplines, methods, religions, contexts, and approaches it engages and contributes to. Especially notable here is the spectrum of theological scholarship it engages. (...) While there remain still more avenues to be opened and explored, Everyday Life and the Sacred travels down paths previously unexplored, discovering and traversing untrodden intersections, and is thus a rich and helpful addition to scholars and students." - Brandy Daniels, University of Virginia, in: Reading Religion, June 26, 2018 (link visited on September 10, 2019)Table of ContentsThe Genesis of This Book and Acknowledgments List of Figures and Tables Notes on Contributors 1 Everyday Life and the Sacred: Gender Sensitive Explorations—Introduction Angela Berlis and Anne-Marie Korte Part 1: Categories 2 God in Everyday Life Kune Biezeveld† 3 The Hope to Become Holy: Bringing Holiness and Everyday Life Together Helga Kuhlmann 4 A Momentary Sacred Space: Religion, Gender and the Sacred in Everyday Life Maaike de Haardt 5 Time, Gender, the Sacred, and Everyday Life Akke van der Kooi Part 2: Textures 6 Menstruation and the Sacred in (Post) Biblical Discourse Dorothea Erbele-Küster 7 Holy Wit: A Good Laugh with Samson (Judges 13–16) Willien van Wieringen 8 Hats, Heads and Holiness in 1 Corinthians Magda Misset-van de Weg 9 Hijab: The Female Body as Boundary Gé Speelman Part 3: Powers 10 The Power of Place: Port-Royal, a Wounded Place Transfigured Angela Berlis 11 Power of Communities: The Daily Practice of Holiness by the Sisters of the Common Life at Deventer Mathilde van Dijk 12 The Power of Words: Sacred and Forbidden Love Magic in Medieval Ireland Jacqueline Borsje 13 The Power of the Voice: Stabat Mater in Music and Text Hedwig Meyer-Wilmes Part 4: 14 Women as Ritual Experts in Sacralising Everyday Home Life Goedroen Juchtmans 15 Peace Women: Traces of the Holy/ the Sacred in the Midst of Injustice and Violence Riet Bons-Storm 16 Music as a Bridge: Young Women in Migrant Churches in Amsterdam Alma Lanser 17 Signs from Heaven: Figuring the Sacred in Contemporary Miracle Stories Anne-Marie Korte Homemade Holiness: Re/Configuring Gender Studies in Religion Epilogue Anne-Marie Korte Bibliography Index of Authors Index of Sources Index of Subjects

Brill Indian Diaspora: Socio-Cultural and Religious Worlds
Book SynopsisThe chapters presented in this volume represent a wide variety of Indian diasporic experiences. From indenture labour to the present day immigrations, Indian diasporic narrative is one that offers opportunities to evaluate afresh notions of ethnicity, race, caste, gender and religious diversity. From victim discourse to narratives of optimism and complexities of identity issues, the Indian diaspora has exhibited characteristics that enable us as scholars to construct theoretical views on the diaspora and migration. The cases included in this volume will illumine such theoretical ideas. The readers will certainly be able to appreciate the diversity and the depth of these narratives and gain insight into the social and cultural and religious world of the diaspora.

Brill Theology and Race: Black and Womanist Traditions in the United States
Book SynopsisThis study develops a Christian theological response to the problems of race and anti-black racism in conversation with black theology and womanist theology. It provides a detailed introduction to multiple voices, developments, and tensions in these two theological traditions over the last half century. It offers an overview of James Cone’s arguments and their reception. It considers turns toward pragmatism and genealogy in black religious scholarship, focusing on Cornel West, Peter Paris, Dwight Hopkins, Victor Anderson, Anthony Pinn, Bryan Massingale, J. Kameron Carter, and Willie Jennings. It analyzes womanist theological treatments of intersectionality, narrative, and embodiment through Jacquelyn Grant, Katie Cannon, Delores Williams, Emilie Townes, Karen Baker-Fletcher, Kelly Brown Douglas, Diana Hayes, and M. Shawn Copeland. Finally, it suggests some open questions related to hybridity, sexuality, and ecology. Ultimately, it argues that the credibility of Christian theological witness depends significantly on the quality of Christian theology’s response to anti-black racism.Table of ContentsTheology and Race Black and Womanist Traditions in the United States Andrew Prevot Abstract Keywords Preface Part 1: How to Think about Theology and Race?

Brill Grieving, Brooding, and Transforming: The Spirit, The Bible, and Gender
Book SynopsisGrieving, Brooding, and Transforming: The Spirit, The Bible, and Gender is a collection of scholarly essays by Pentecostal women. It explores troubling biblical texts, as well as those of contemporary church life, in regards to the portrayal of women. The authors seek to identify the presence and work of the Spirit that is often hidden within the contours of these texts. A Pentecostal feminist hermeneutic desires to move beyond suspicion into the deeper terrain of the Spirit’s mission of grieving, brooding, and transforming a broken world. The essays point to the purposes of God toward justice and the healing of creation.

Basic Books Moral Combat
Book SynopsisFrom an esteemed scholar of American religion and sexuality, a sweeping account of the century of religious conflict that produced our culture wars Gay marriage, transgender rights, birth control -- sex is at the heart of many of the most divisive political issues of our age. The origins of these conflicts, historian R. Marie Griffith argues, lie in sharp disagreements that emerged among American Christians a century ago. From the 1920s onward, a once-solid Christian consensus regarding gender roles and sexual morality began to crumble, as liberal Protestants sparred with fundamentalists and Catholics over questions of obscenity, sex education, and abortion. Both those who advocated for greater openness in sexual matters and those who resisted new sexual norms turned to politics to pursue their moral visions for the nation. Moral Combat is a history of how the Christian consensus on sex unraveled, and how this unraveling has made our political battles over sex so ferocious and so intractable.
