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. Starting with the traditional teachings and discourses around gender in the Orthodox Church, the book moves on to demonstrate the diversity of responses to those narratives that can be found among Orthodox populations in Europe and North America. Using case studies from several countries, with both large and small Orthodox populations, contributors use an interdisciplinary approach to address how gender and religion interact in contexts such as, iconography, conversion, social activism and ecumenical relations, among others. From Greece and Russia to Finland and the USA, this volume sheds new light on the myriad ways in which gender is manifested, performed, and engaged within contemporary Orthodoxy. Furthermore, it also demonstrates that employing the analytical lens of gender enables new insights into Orthodox Christianity as a lived tradition. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of both Religious Studies and Gender Studies"--Provided by publisher.Routledge Studies in Religion SeriesReligion & beliefsbicsscChristian Churches & denominationsbicsscOrthodox & Oriental ChurchesbicsscReligious aspects of sexuality, gender & relationshipsbicsscGender studies: womenbicsscReligious groups: social & cultural aspectsbicsscReligion & beliefsChristian Churches & denominationsOrthodox & Oriental ChurchesReligious aspects of sexuality, gender & relationshipsGender studies: womenReligious groups: social & cultural aspects281.9081REL049000REL105000SOC039000bisacshKupari Helena907120Kupari HelenaVuola ElenaOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910765706003321Gender and Orthodox Christianity4290875UNINA
