Albrecht brings religion to the table. This book contends that, if the turn to materiality emphasizes what religion \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e in bodies and spaces, or how bodies \u003ci\u003emake\u003c\/i\u003e religion, it is equally important to ask \u003ci\u003ewhose\u003c\/i\u003e bodies are made legible, and under what conditions they come to \u003ci\u003ematter\u003c\/i\u003e. By shining a light on this reciprocal relationship between religion and embodiment, Albrecht reveals the processes through which meanings, \"bodies,\" and \"religion\" itself are made. Across seven chapters spanning intersectionality, queer and cuír theory, and crip studies, this book traces counter-genealogies which reveal how bodies become unintelligible within the regimes of religion, race, gender, and ability. Albrecht offers tools for examining how religious experiences are shaped by queerness, disability, and power, providing a fresh and inclusive perspective on how bodies and practices are central constituents of conceptions of religion. The resulting framework for religious studies pushes beyond normative views or religious-secular divisions, prompting readers to critically re-consider both \"religion\" and the \"body.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica A.
