This series is designed as a contribution to the scholarly and academic understanding of religion. Such understanding is taken to involve both a descriptive and an explanatory task. The series covers the phenomenon of religion in all its constituent dimensions and geographic diversity. Although predominantly empirically oriented, the series also encourages theoretical studies and leaves room for creative and empirically controlled philosophical approaches in the interpretation of religions and religion.
Societies often link the phenomena of evil and good to the feminine and masculine genders and, by extension, to women and men. Evil, Good, and Gender explores doctrinal and societal developments within a context of malevolence that came to be attributed to the feminine and the female in contrast to benevolence ascribed to the masculine and the male by Zoroastrians or Mazda worshipers. This study authoritatively elucidates implications of the feminine and the masculine in religion and suggests that images in theology have been fundamental for defining both women’s and men’s social roles and statuses.
