商品簡介
Fourteen religious scholars, most based in the U.S., examine the treatment of gender and sexuality in nine of the world's religions including African and Native American spiritual traditions, Daoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Islam. The first nine chapters emphasize modern issues of religion and sexuality , and the challenges contemporary realities have posed for the traditional religious beliefs, values, and practices. An additional three chapters focus on religion, gender, and sexuality in the U.S. today, including the role of religion in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities and among practitioners of modern witchcraft, and religion and sexual liberty.
