Temple or Prison: Religious Beliefs and Attitudes Toward the Body
Religious beliefs and experiences of the body: An extension of the developmental theory of embodiment

The present study extends existing research by examining the relationship between two specific religiously influenced beliefs about the body and three w…

The authors conduct qualitative interviews designed to gather experiential information with 30 women who are both faculty members at Christian universities around the co…
