About this book
This book contributes to an understanding of the complex relationship of gender and language alongside religion and religious life as experienced by various religious groups around the world. The intention is to put forward current studies in the field of linguistics and explore how gender and various religions intersect with language use. The universal and diverse experience of religion provides for this unique collection of papers concerning the use of language in religious liturgy, in religious communities, and in interaction with identity. As such, the book will attract students and researchers in discourse, gender studies and religious studies.

Reviews
'On the whole, Allyson Julé's Gender and the Language of Religion
represents a useful collection of well-written papers by scholars of
varying backgrounds (measurement and evaluation, sociolinguistics,
education psychology, language education, theoretical and applied
linguistics, and communication). It can easily become a compulsory
reading for students in various interdisciplinary studies, people
working in the relevant disciplines, and for several others who want to
broaden their knowledge on the intersection between religion,
language and gender. I enjoyed reading every paper in this collection.' - Joseph Benjamin Archibald Afful, The Lingust List
