Gender And Orthodox Christianity

The orthodox christian tradition has all too often been sidelined in conversations around contemporary religion. Despite being distinct from protestantism and catholicism in both theology and practice, it remains an underused setting for academic inquiry into current lived religious practice. This collection, therefore, seeks to redress this imbalance by investigating modern manifestations of orthodox christianity through an explicitly gender-sensitive gaze. By addressing attitudes to gender in this context, it fills major gaps in the literature on both religion and gender. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of both religious studies and gender studies.
