Religion and Gender

Into the Classroom is a series of eleven new books designed for second-level teachers beginning the new Leaving Certificate Religious Education syllabus. Each of the books covers all the content in the relevant syllabus section. With their accessible and engaging commentary, they will also be of great interest to third-level students, educators and a general readership.

Religion and Gender aims to develop a knowledge and understanding of the role of gender in religious experience and tradition; and to explore the relationship between gender roles in societies and religions, in particular the Christian traditions. It also highlights the particular contribution of women to the development of religious traditions.
