Scholars of gender, sexuality, and race generally understand these as categories of analysis rather than simply areas, subjects, or objects of study. Many scholars of religion—particularly those who are also interested in gender, or sexuality, and race—understand religion in the same way. What is gained for scholars of gender, sexuality, and race in thinking of religion as a category of difference and power?

Why is religion still around in the twenty-first century? Why do so many still believe? And how do various traditions still shape the way people experience everything from sexuality to politics, whether they are religious or not? In Why Religion? Elaine Pagels looks to her own life to help address these questions. She will talk about her new book with fellow scholar of religion, Wallace Best.
