Women and Religion: Contemporary and Future Challenges in the Global Era

This book gathers contributions from a wide range of fields to address the broad topic of women and religion. The contributors use a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to address key themes and issues such as the attitudes of different religions to gender equality, how women construct identity through religious activity, whether women have opportunity to influence religious doctrine, how migration affects the religious lives of both women and men, and the introduction of new methods to analyze the future of religions.
