Religious aspects of sexuality, gender & relationships; Sociology

Series: Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Religion

This book brings together the work of an international team of experts investigating the intersection of bisexuality, religion and spirituality. Drawing from disciplines such as sociology, psychology, theology, religious studies and literary studies, it critically examines, both theoretically and empirically, the lived experiences of bisexual people of diverse religious faiths and spiritualities, in the context of the UK, Canada, Lebanon, Turkey, Australia and the USA. As an important and insightful exploration of an under-researched and often misunderstood minority, this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in sexuality, religion, spirituality and identity.

Reviews for Bisexuality, Religion and Spirituality: Critical Perspectives

The Editors of this volume bring together interdisciplinary voices to construct a vivid dialogue about bisexuality and religious identities and spaces. Not only are there wide-ranging disciplinary contributions from sociologists, psychologists, theologists, scholars of religion and literature, this volume brings together international work from UK, Canada, Lebanon, Turkey, Australia and the USA. Furthermore, as much previous research on the topic of bisexuality and religion has focussed solely on the sexuality's intersection with Christian identities, there is an expansion of work in this book which encompasses Sufsm, Buddhism, Islam, Paganism, Judaism and non-religion into the conversation, broadening the scope of the field vastly -Samuel Lawton, Psychology of Sexualities Review
