title = {A Christian Exploration of Women's Bodies and Rebirth in Shin Buddhism},
year = {2020},
note = {Jōdo Shinshū Buddhism inherited many negative doctrines around
women’s bodies, which in some early Buddhist texts were
presented as an obstacle to rebirth, and a hindrance to awakening in
general. Beginning with an examination of these doctrines, the book
explores Shin teachings and texts, as well as the Japanese context in
which they developed, with a focus on women and rebirth in
Amida’s Pure Land. These doctrines are then compared to
similar doctrines in Christianity and used to suggestion fruitful
avenues of Christian theological reflection.},
