“…Currently, evangelicals perceive the Bible as either literally or near-literally true, directly applicable to daily life and requiring no expert interpretation (Luhrmann 2012). This democratic approach to theology aligns well with the nature of blogs, which can be started by anyone without any formal training or expertise (Feller, 2016). Our research, inspired by scholarship that ties theology to worldly events, places a particular focus on the process of meaning-making in the home during the covid-19 pandemic.…”

In Evangelical Christian communities, the responsibility for maintaining the home is taken up primarily by women (Bartkowski, 1999; Gallagher & Smith, 1999). The discursive construction of the home as a sacred space free from toxic influences emerged during the Cold War, when the global turmoil seemed to demand the delineation of a matriarchal safe space (Shively, 2017; Neumann, 2019; Anagnost 2013). More recently, restrictions concerning covid-19 have initiated a further shift from the public to the private sphere. Women who were accustomed to conducting housework while their husbands were at work have abruptly come to the foreground as life primarily took place at home. This article explores the intersection of daily activities with religious beliefs as reflected in the practice of blogging. Central to this study is the assumption that ordinary, daily activities provide a unique lens into the way people ‘in the pews’ live their lives.

“…These provide a nuanced understanding of the feminist subject within supposedly patriarchal religion. It should be noted that such work has not been limited to Islam alone, but has also covered Judaism (Prell 2007), Muslim and Christian women (Ali, Mahmood, et al 2008;Nyhagen and Halsaa 2016), Mormonism (Feller 2016;Hoyt 2007) and so forth.…”

Within Europe, gender and Islam have a complex and often polarised discursive history. Whilst some find only repression of women in patriarchal and religious structures, others hail Islam as the birthplace of emancipation. This article explores the experiences of women who have moved out of Islam in both the Netherlands and the UK and finds that many navigate in between these narratives of suppression and liberation. The aim of this article is twofold: based on 22 life-history interviews, it firstly explores gendered experiences whilst growing up (from personal experienced inequality to observing theological or legislative problems), which may have led to various degrees of doubt or distress. It further unpacks gendered embodied experiences, such as veiling, modesty or mosque attendance as having relative importance when moving out of Islam. Secondly, this article elaborates on how these women position themselves, within religious and secular expectations of what it means to be a former Muslim woman. It explores their positionality in a polarised debate: how did they relate to the discourses of suppression and liberation, from either secular(ised) or religious environs?
