Produktbeschreibung

This Handbook is a first-of-its-kind, high-quality reference resource guiding readers through the burgeoning fields of queer and trans studies in religion, and pointing them toward the newest directions these fields are taking or should take. The chapters cover both theoretical and methodological considerations, and also highlight the histories, perspectives, and ongoing activism of queer and trans people in a wide array of religious contexts. Written by a team of both established senior scholars and emerging scholars, all working on the leading edges of the field, and edited by a senior scholar who also authored the first-ever introduction to the field, this handbook aims to play a role in defining queer and trans studies in religion for years to come.
