Description

This Routledge volume examines how shame has been weaponised by patriarchal Christian institutions to control female sexuality and manage male ambivalence about sex. Drawing on the historical case of Ireland's Magdalen laundries, the book combines feminist theological scholarship with contemporary theory to expose the Church's systemic role in using shame as a tool of institutional power. The author explores how religious doctrine has historically justified the regulation and punishment of women's bodies and desires, whilst overlooking comparable male transgressions. By analysing the psychological and spiritual damage inflicted through shame-based religious narratives, this work contributes to understanding how religious systems perpetuate gender inequality. Essential reading for scholars of theology, gender studies, religious history and feminist spirituality seeking to understand the intersection of shame, sexuality and ecclesiastical authority.

Key Features

This Gender, Theology and Spirituality book from Routledge explores shame as a tool of institutional control within the Christian Church.

The volume uses Ireland's Magdalen laundries as a detailed historical case study to illustrate Church-sanctioned female sexuality regulation.

Contemporary feminist theological and theoretical scholarship grounds the analysis of patriarchal religious mechanisms throughout the text.

The book examines how ecclesiastical institutions have colluded in displacing men's sexual anxieties onto women's bodies and behaviour.
