Description: Sacred Pregnancy by Ann W. Duncan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Sacred Pregnancy is a retrospective on evolving feminist discourse of motherhood, a sociological study of religious demographics and experience in the U.S., and an exploration of the spiritually guided reproductive health services. The book allows readers to more deeply understand the life-changing experiences of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. Publisher Description Sacred Pregnancy is part a retrospective on changing paradigms of and feminist discourse on motherhood, part sociological study of changing religious demographics and understandings of religious experience in the United States, and part exploration of the spiritual movements and spiritually guided reproductive health services that bring all these themes together.Resting on the premise that motherhood in general and pregnancy specifically should not be brushed aside as beneath intellectual inquiry or as settled subjects, Ann Duncan explores a new form of religious community: a growing number of diverse movements that blend business with a spiritual approach to the reproductive health of women. This new mode of spiritual ritual is centered not around a particular conception of the divine but by the shared experience of pregnancy and birth as sacred rites of passage and womens reproductive health as an avenue toward spiritual experience, community, and even economic opportunity.These spiritual birth movements are an invitation to further investigate and understand not only the social construction of motherhood and the cultural understanding and practice of pregnancy, but also the life-changing experiences of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood and the concomitant desire for religious ritual in the lives of American women. Author Biography Ann W. Duncan (Ph.D., University of Virginia) is Professor of American Studies and Religion at Goucher College in Baltimore, MD. Her research and teaching focus on intersections of religion and public life including religion and politics, new religious movements, the religious "nones," and motherhood and American religion.
