“This edited collection offers an important corrective to the pervasive view that religion is always opposed to abortion. The chapters in this text – drawn from a range of religious traditions and international contexts – highlight that the relationship between religion and abortion is highly nuanced, complex and embodied.” Sarah-Jane Page, University of Nottingham “The global need for abortion as part of maternal healthcare is escalating. This volume takes a thoughtful, interdisciplinary, social justice approach to the complexities and dangers facing pregnant people. The contributors situate abortion not at the margins of religious belief but at the vital core of living one’s faith as Buddhist, Christian, Jewish and Muslim. Reimagining Faith and Abortion is a must-read for anyone – religious or secular – who wants to understand the global movement for faith-based approaches to reproductive justice.” Margaret Kamitsuka, Oberlin College
