Religion, Transformation and Gender
The fifth issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society (J-RaT) centers on the topic of religion, transformation and sex/gender. The focal point will be on religious and cultural transformation processes and their repercussions on gender roles, constructs and representations on the one hand, and on sex and/or gender transformations which are embedded in the context of specific religious traditions on the other. Transformation is understood here as change, alteration and reformatting. The multifaceted connections between religion, transformation and sex/gender are concretized in an abundance of material and symbolic phenomena and are examined starting from different subject-specific and methodical approaches.
The Oxford Handbook of Vatican II
The Oxford Handbook of Vatican II is a rich source of information and reflections on many aspects of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), one of the most significant religious events of the twentieth century.

In a context of globalization, socioeconomic disparity, environmental concerns, mass migration, and multiplying political and social upheavals, Christians from different parts of the world are forced to ask complex questions about poverty, migration, race, gender, sexuality, and land-related conflicts.

Feminist Biblical Interpretation
The original German edition of Feminist Biblical Interpretation received high acclaim and widespread positive reviews in Europe. That groundbreaking reference tool for contextual biblical interpretation is here available in English for the first time. With contributions from more than sixty female scholars, this is the only one-volume feminist commentary on the entire Bible, including books that are relatively uncharted territory for feminist theology.
Men and Masculinities in Christianity and Judaism
Bjorn Krondorfer, one of the leading scholars in this field, has collected 35 key texts that have shaped this field within the wider area of the study of gender, religion and culture. The texts in this critical reader engage actively and critically with the position of men in society and church, men's privileged relation to the sacred and to religious authority, the ideals of masculinity as engendered by religious discourse, and alternative trajectories of being in the world, whether spiritually, relationally or sexually. Each of the texts is introduced by the editor and accompanied by bibliographies that make this the ideal tool for study.
Critique Scandinave de la Théologie Féministe Anglo-américaine
Scandinavian Critique of Anglo-American Feminist Theology is a collection of articles by scholars in various theological disciplines from five Scandinavian or Nordic countries. The articles cover a wide range of topics, including feminist sexual ethics, ecofeminist theology, gender perspectives on European welfare systems, Birgitta of Sweden and a search for Mary beyond stereotypes. As the title implies, a critical dialogue with US feminist theology is a recurrent theme throughout the book, but the essays also include constructive work from different theological perspectives. The journal also includes a bibliography that shows the diversity of Scandinavian and Nordic feminist theological research.
Männer unter Druck
Die Gleichzeitigkeit traditioneller Männlichkeitsbilder, neuer gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen und veränderter Geschlechterrollen setzt Männer zunehmend unter Druck. Viele Männer sind heute stärker belastet als noch vor einigen Jahren, psychosoziale Krisen und Burnout nehmen zu. Welches sind die Ursachen dieses Drucks? Sind Männer heute Getriebene ihrer „eigenen“ überholten Vorstellungen von Männlichkeit und „richtigem“ männ - lichem Leben? Oder mangelt es an Umgangsweisen mit Druck und Abgrenzung, an Instrumenten und Gelegenheiten der Prävention und der Selbstsorge? Benötigen Männer heute eine neuartige stabile Form männlicher Identität? Die Beiträge namhafter ExpertInnen entfalten ein bisher einzigartiges Spektrum des Drucks auf heutige Männer: von Sozial- und Organisationspsychologie und Industriesoziologie über Zeit- und Stressforschung bis hin zu Männerbildung und Männertherapie.

The volume hosts a lively conversation about the nature and significance of biblical interpretation in a global context, focusing on issues at the nexus of operations of power, textual ambiguity, and intersectionality. Engaged h...
