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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[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)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210639302999,"sku":"9789004254602","price":144.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/everyday-life-and-the-sacred-re-configuring-gender-studies-in-religion-9789004254602","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
