Is it possible to be religious and to be gay, lesbian, or queer? Until recently, many persons-gay or straight- would have said no. But over the past decade or so, a vast literature has emerged of personal narrative, apologetic, and polemic, asserting both the existence and acceptability of such dual identities. Que(e)rying Religion includes but moves beyond tradition- based experiential writing by turning to the academic study of religion. It includes work that compares or focuses on different religious traditions, such as various forms of Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Native American spiritualities. It also incorporates writing on various geographical areas and historical time periods. By assuming a wide definition of religion, it raises ques- tions about the terms religion and religious themselves. Que(e)rying Religion also presents an array of positions within and across lesbian, gay, and queer studies. It includes work by lesbians, gay men, straight people, and others whose sexual preference remains unspecified. Because both religious studies and lesbian/gay/queer studies are multidisciplinary fields, the book includes the work of scholars who are identified with religious studies per se as well as with anthropology, sociology, history, literary criticism, women's studies, cultural studies and social commentary. Read together, the contents of Que(e)rying Religion provide access to a broad selection of work at the intersection of religious studies and lesbian/gay/queer studies. 200.86640826409245 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 200.8664 Com q E08004211 Non Fiction 200.8664 Com q E12003027 Non Fiction 200.8664 Com q-2 Que%28E%29_Rying_Religion.png 49790 2014-12-11 08:36:43 2024-11-07 16:56:29 machine generated
