Highly recommended! A must-have resource for anyone taking a course in Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Religion, or Comparative Religion. Also an excellent reference for individuals or groups seeking to understand how religion shapes and influences gender roles across society — in the church, in the home, and in the workplace. Finally, this book offers a clear framework for developing and engaging in constructive dialogue that can lead to meaningful, productive outcomes in exploring the fluid and ever-changing definitions of gender.
