ABSTRACT

Shifting power relations between religious young adults and religious authority structures, in which the chapter evaluates the dominant scholarly discourse about youth religiosity. This chapter describes proceeding to link religious faith to sexuality is argued. Connecting religious faith and sexuality through embodiment, that the most productive way of understanding the diverse outcomes of the intersection of these two significant domains is through the prism of embodiment. Reflecting on the diverse experiences of our participants are also argued here. Problematising religious and sexual agency, for a more nuanced and critical theoretical understanding of this complex relationship and the significant practical implications this entails. This book has endeavoured to challenge habitual academic practice of prioritising Christianity in the study of religion; and lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people in the study of sexuality.
