Women in Religion

Rate this book
The place of women in the religions, both as expressed in the classical writings and as experienced in life, is carefully considered in this book. It deals with what part women can and/or do play in religious institutions; how relevant religion is to their general role in society; and the significance of cultural influences for attitudes to women within the religious traditions.Addressing important issues of the day, this series examines how each of the eight major religions approaches a particular theme. Constructed to be comparative, the books are both authoritative and accessible. Each chapter is followed by a selected bibliography. This book is ideal for undergraduate students.

حس اینکه توی بخش اسلام دست برده شده باشه رو داشتم که بیشتر نکات مثبت به چشم میومد ولی نکات منفی یا نگفته شده یا خیلی کم گفته شده بود طوری که توی چشم و توی ذوق نزنه ، یا شاید خودم با سوگیری خوندمش و بایاس داشتم، ولی سوال اصلی اینه، چرا اسلامی که این همه در راستای ارزش گذاشتن به زن ها گام برداشته، الان باید وضعش این باشه و از بقیه‌ی کشورها توی خیلی از مسائل زنان عقب باشه؟
)البته بخش اسلامش بیشتر مربوط به اهل تسنن بود ولی خب نباید یادمون بره وضع اونا هم تا چند سال پیش این بود که حق رانندگی بهشون نمیدادن و توی کتاب هم ذکر شده که میتونن سوار شتر بشن ولی ماشین نه!👀)
