Judith Butler's Gender Trouble and Bodies That Matter broke new ground in understanding how identities are constructed and performed. This is the first anthology applying her theories to religion. Scholars in anthropology, biblical studies, theology, ethics and ritual studies use Butler's work to examine biblical, Islamic, Buddhist and Christian traditions, bringing religious studies into conversation with feminist and queer theory. Subjects include the women's mosque movement in Cairo, the ordination of women in the Catholic Church, the possibility of queer ethics, religious ritual and biblical constructions of sexuality.
