Description

How has feminism changed the world's religions and the way we study them? Feminism and Religion provides a comprehensive - at times provocative - answer to this important question. Distinguished religion scholar Rita Gross explores how the feminist social vision has transformed religious thought, ritual, leadership, and institutions around the world, from Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism to new religious movements like feminist spirituality. Gross also reveals how feminist academic methods have not only increased our knowledge of women's religious lives, but challenged basic understandings of religion as a whole.
