GENDER IN RELIGION? RELIGION IN GENDER? COMMENTARY ON THEORY AND RESEARCH ON GENDER AND RELIGION

Summary/Abstract: In recent years the concept of gender has become one of the key categories used in social sciences and in the fi eld of religious studies and its varied dimensions (see: Avishai, Jafar, Rinaldo 2015; Calef 2009; Joy 2010; Woodhead 2007). According to Morny Joy (2010), as well as Afshan Jafar, Rachel Rinaldo and Orit Avishai (2015), we can point to special features and connotations of the concept of gender in this research. Therefore, gender is often understood in research on religion as a descriptive and historical category. This means that it depicts particular life situations of women (rarely men) in the context of religion, including their religious experiences, religious practices in everyday life and at varied levels of religious order (cultural, individual and institutional ones).
