Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed Homosexuality, transidentity, and Islam
a study of scripture confronting the politics of gender and sexuality
Gedrukt boek
The author analyses the entirety of Islamic scriptural sources that relate to the question of gender and sexuality in relation to their historical contexts. He clarifies key theological concepts that may seem esoteric to the uninitiated. In doing so, he makes a compelling case for the compatibility of sexual and gender diversity within Islam. Zahed also examines the historical and contemporary socio-political impacts of inclusive and exclusive (or, quite simply, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic) interpretations of scripture.
