Synopsis "Female Faith Practices (Explorations in Practical, Pastoral and Empirical Theology)"
This book explores female faith practices, drawing on qualitative research to consider how women navigate and create spiritual and religious practices.The chapters cover Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist contexts as well as newer spiritual movements. The contributors examine prayer and ritual practices and familial, educational and ritual spaces and relationships in a variety of cultural settings. The volume reflects on the ways in which women subvert traditional or patriarchal religious practices and spaces, both problematising and expanding existing notions of 'religious practice'. It also touches on research itself as a form of spiritual and academic practice, considering ways in which women challenge androcentric modes of research as well as ways in which the subject of research - in this case, female faith - may challenge the researcher's convictions and practice.Blending case studies with empirical research, this book will be an outstanding resource to theologians and researchers interested in Practical Theology, Gender Studies, Sociology of Religion and Anthropology.
