This collection gathers essays from a 2009 Syracuse University conference titled 'The Politics of Love.' The contributors are less interested in 'whether people believe in religion or god' than in 'what the modern notion of religion has done in the world, what kinds of subjectivities it has produced ... what forms of inequalities, what conceptions of justice and freedom [it has] enabled and foreclosed.' French feminist Hélène Cixous (Le Prénom de Dieu, 1967) reflects poignantly on her 40-year dialogue on God's existence with Jacques Derrida, her experience of his death, and her hopes for resurrection (i.e., 'what one doesn't believe in'). Mark Jordan (Harvard Divinity School; Recruiting Young Love, CH, Sep'11, 49-0219) offers an essay titled 'The Return of Religion during the Reign of Sexuality'; Saba Mahmood (Univ. of California, Berkeley; Politics of Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject, 2005) critiques the genre of women's anti-Islamic autobiographies so popular among feminists; Gianni Vattimo (emer., Univ. of Turin; The End of Modernity, CH, Nov'89, 27-1492) defends postmodern atheistic Christianity; and Sarah Coakley (Univ. of Cambridge; editor, Religion and the Body, 1997) explores a nonviolent, nonviolating conception of sacrifice. A thought-provoking roundtable transcript concludes this worthwhile, eclectic collection. Summing Up: Recommended.

Synopsis
Feminist theory and reflections on sexuality and gender rarely make contact with contemporary continental philosophy of religion. Where they all come together, creative and transformative thinking occurs. In Feminism, Sexuality, and the Return of Religion, internationally recognized scholars tackle complicated questions provoked by the often stormy intersection of these powerful forces. The essays in this book break down barriers as they extend the richness of each philosophical tradition. They discuss topics such as queer sexuality and religion, feminism and the gift, feminism and religious reform, and religion and diversity. The contributors are Hélène Cixous, Sarah Coakley, Kelly Brown Douglas, Mark D. Jordan, Catherine Keller, Saba Mahmood, and Gianni Vattimo., Feminist theory and reflections on sexuality and gender rarely make contact with contemporary continental philosophy of religion.
