Inhaltsangabe

The Place of the Queer Community (2SLGBTQIA+) in Catholic and Buddhist Spaces offers a thought-provoking exploration of how two major world religions engage with issues of sexuality, gender identity, and inclusion. Drawing on theological scholarship, historical records, and contemporary cultural analysis, this work examines the complex and often contradictory ways Catholic and Buddhist traditions have approached queer identities.

Through a close reading of key biblical and scriptural passages, theological debates, and evolving doctrinal interpretations, the book uncovers how institutional teachings shape, and are shaped by, societal attitudes toward the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It highlights the lived experiences of queer individuals within these faith spaces, revealing both barriers to participation and opportunities for affirmation.

Bridging the fields of religious studies, sociology, and queer theory, this book also documents progressive movements within both Catholicism and Buddhism, showcasing emerging practices and interfaith dialogues aimed at creating more inclusive spiritual environments.

For readers interested in the intersection of faith, identity, and social change, this book offers not only an in-depth academic analysis but also a hopeful vision for a future where religious spaces fully embrace queer identities.
