The Ashgate Research Companion to Sexuality and Religion
This prestigious collection of essays will provide a comprehensive
inter-disciplinary study of important aspects of sexuality and religion,
calling upon sociological, cultural, historical and theological
contributions to an under-researched subject. Bringing an impressive
range of themes and expertise together in an articulately written but
accessible form, this work, eschewing formulas of past volumes on the
subject, aims to become essential reading for scholars and research
students working in various disciplines.
The volume will focus on the exploration of diverse religious
faiths, spiritualities, and sexualities through contributions from
experts in their fields who will embrace numerous contrasting approaches
related to the contemporary context. By adopting a truly
inter-disciplinary and multi-dimensional perspective the volume will do
full justice to the complexities of both human sexuality and religion.
Aimed primarily at a readership with special interest in both, the work
will offer an innovating and refreshing analysis of key theoretical and
empirical issues in an increasingly relevant and expanding area of
academic interest.
