An anthology of seminal articles written by feminist scholars over a period of nearly 30 years which have had a major influence on the development of feminist theories of religion. The selected readings are wide-ranging in content and offer a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural perspective and reflect the work of scholars working within religious studies as well as scholars from other disciplines such as Nancy Chodorow and Judith Butler. The introductory essays by the volume editor linking some of the sections are packed with information about and reflections upon questions, resources, issues and debates vis-a-vis feminism and the study of religions. The book shows how debates about feminism within the study of religion have been influenced by broader theoretical discussions and provides evidence that feminist scholars working on religion have made their own contribution to feminist theory.

Despite the steady growth of feminism in sociology, little attention has been paid to feminist research on religion. Nason-Clark and Neitz begin to fill this gap, asking leading feminist sociologists of religion to reflect on their work and lives. In addition, the editors include responses from the next generation of feminist sociologists of religion to see how their experiences differ from those of their teachers. The essays show how these feminist scholars construct narratives of their lives and work even among contradictions and interruptions. They show how the researcher, the researched and the research method are all closely intertwined. And they show how these researchers strive to make heard the voices of those they have chosen to study. Feminist Narratives and the Sociology of Religion is an essential text to see how feminist perspectives shape this field. Published in cooperation with the Association for the Sociology of Religion (view table of contents)
