Synopsis
The fields of gender and religious studies have often been criticized for neglecting to engage with one another, and this volume responds to this dearth of interaction by placing the fields in an intimate dialogue. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach and drawing on feminist scholarship, the book undertakes theoretical and empirical explorations of relational and co-constitutive encounters of gender and religion. Through varied perspectives, the chapters address three interrelated themes: religion as practice, the relationship between religious practice and religion as prescribed by formal religious institutions, and the feminization of religion in Europe.

"Contemporary Encounters in Gender and Religion is a novel, well-written and thorough volume that deserves to be on the bookshelf of anyone interested in gender and religion in contemporary society. ... It offers an abundance of empirical insights, and it is to be considered a must-read for graduate students as well as senior researchers in the field of religious studies, sociology of religion, gender studies, and anthropology." (Louise Lund Liebmann, Nordic Journal of Religion and Society, Vol. 30 (2), 2017)
