About the book
The Fourth Reformation "Gender, Sexuality, and the Struggle for the Future of Faith" contends that contemporary conflicts over gender and sexuality are not peripheral disputes within religion but the central forces reshaping the future of faith itself.
Framing these struggles as a Fourth Reformation, Katherine Kelaidis shows how debates over women's authority, LGBTQ+ inclusion, family norms, and bodily autonomy have become the primary sites where religious traditions fracture, realign, and redefine their moral authority.
Drawing on global case studies across Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other traditions, Kelaidis demonstrates how questions of gender and sexuality have replaced doctrine as the decisive boundary markers of religious belonging. She traces how modern religious movements-both progressive and reactionary-mobilize gender norms to assert legitimacy, consolidate power, and forge unexpected political alliances. In doing so, she explains why religious institutions increasingly function as engines of polarization rather than sources of shared moral meaning.
