RECLAIMING THE SPIRIT: GAY MEN AND LESBIANS COME TO TERMS WITH THEIR RELIGION By David Shallenberger - Hardcover **Mint Condition**.

About this product

Product Information

The quest for an integration of homosexuality and spirituality is the focus of Reclaiming the Spirit. Shallenberger asks how individuals can balance both a gay and a religious identity, whether coming out is a spiritual experience, and how coming out affects an individual's relationship to a traditional religious community. Divided into chapters that correspond to the common stages of spiritual integration, Reclaiming the Spirit is immensely readable and introduces an important group of voices into the hotly contested debates surrounding religion and gay participation.

Reclaiming the Spirit is like spending a weekend at a cozy retreat with a dozen new friends whose spiritual quests are as intriguing, endearing, and insightful as they are honest and varied. Shallenberger has carefully captured the spectrum of lesbian and gay religious experience within a cogent framework of interpretation and understanding., This important book beautifully illuminates the ways in which spiritual development is strengthened by oneÆs acceptance of gay identity., David ShallenbergerÆs in-depth analyses of the spiritual journeys of sexual minority individuals are extremely insightful and well-grounded in the literature on faith development and lesbian and gay spirituality. His ability to explore problems and phenomena from a comprehensive, multidisciplinary prospective is outstanding, and his reflections are coherent, meaningful, and relevant. This is truly an excellent work!, Homophobia, often enough in the guise of religion, extinguishes the spirit. This is a bouquet of stories about those who, against the odds, are managing to reclaim it., The voices that are allowed to speak in these pages are ones whose stories, in all of their emotional power, intricacy, emotional messiness, and spiritual depth, are seldom heard by religious or psychological professionals. Beyond being personally inspiring and existentially engaging, what this book provides is an invaluable resource for further clinical, pastoral, and theological reflection. Shallenberger has been appropriately restrained in the degree of interpretation or analysis which he providesùexcept to organize the accounts in such a way as to make it very apparent that a gay person's resolution of his or her relationship to formal religious life-ways is highly varied and follows no simple path. The women and men who entrusted their experience to the author's skillful interviewing are permitted to speak for themselves. Thus these stories have those moments of self-discovery and surprising revelation that can occur when one is given the rare opportunity to talk about matters deeply meaningful to a sensitive listener., Kudos to Rutgers University Press for publishing Shallenberger's new paradigm research! Allowing lesbian and gay people to describe their sexuality-spirituality connection in their own voices enables us readers to feel some of the grace, power, and growth that arises out of honest struggle. This book is a meaningful and joyous experience.
