Devotions and Desires: Histories of Sexuality and Religion in the Twentieth-Century United States
History matters. What happened in the past, how we narrate and understand our histories, what historians do, and how the public understands its histories matter. Living in an ahistorical society is at best troubling and at worst dangerous. The topics addressed in Devotions and Desires each have a history of being understood as standing outside of history and as singular—religion rather than religions, sexuality not sexualities. Across the last ha…

A Genealogy of Queer Theory
The title of this book reveals much of its agenda. The words genealogy, queer, and theory reveal that it is engaged with Michel Foucault, that its topic is that amorphous movement of post–lesbianandgay civil rights founded upon reclaiming the formerly (and still occasionally) horrific term “queer,” and that its particular focus is upon the academic wing of that movement. In examining these concerns, William B. Turner provides an entrée into the r…
Who is the Public Intellectual: Identity, Marginality, and the Religious Studies Scholar
In 1997, Russell McCutcheon stirred up a storm in some circles within religious studies in an article entitled "A Default of Critical Intelligence?The Scholar of Religion as Public Intellectual."Pub lished in the journal of a major North American professional associa tion, the Journal of the American Academy of Religion, the essay made the argument that religious studies professors should undertake work as public intellectuals and, indeed, that s…
Rejected, Reclaimed, Renamed: Mary Daly on Psychology and Religion
This article reviews Mary Daly's five books published between 1968 and 1987. Mary Daly is a key contributor to the feminist view of religion. The focus of this discussion is her intellectual trajectory that includes critique and reconstruction of both psychology and religion. As she moves from reform to radical feminism and from Christianity to postchristian feminist spirituality, Daly increasingly views both psychology and religion as aspects of…
Responsive Reading: Daly, Dialogue and Denunciation (Henking Responds to Steichen, Vitz & Vitz, and Hearn)
In rebuttal to critique this discussion continues dialogue with Hearn (1993) and responds to Steichen (1993) and Vitz and Vitz (1993) in this issue. Hearn's inclusion of Daly's most recent publication provides an important addition to the discussion. It clarifies Daly's early works as revolutionary rather than merely reformatory in their context. Hearn also aptly labels Daly's tendency to reject psychologists yet use their works as ironic (rather…
Sociological Christianity and Christian Sociology: The Paradox of Early American Sociology
In 1975, Robin Gill wrote that "as yet there is a rather thin body of literature on possible correlations between sociology and theology." Since then, a host of other writers have joined Gill in commenting on the absence of such correlations and in seeking to connect the two phenomena. Indeed, the current era in American culture might, as several commentators have noted, be understood as one of detente between social science and religion. Such a …
Protestant religious experience and the rise of American sociology: Evidence from the Bernard papers
Historians of sociology have long recognized the Protestant ambience within which the discipline emerged in the United States. Autobiographies elicited by L. L. Bernard in the 1920s and 1930s provide insight into the impact of this background on early American sociologists. In addition to confirming the importance of mainstream Protestantism, the autobiographies reveal a multitude of identity strategies adopted by those who came to call themselve…

The Ability to Mourn: Disillusionment and the Social Origins of Psychoanalysis
Peter Homans offers a new understanding of origins of and relates psychoanalytic project as a whole to sweep of Western culture, past and present. He argues that Freud's fundamental goal was interpretation of and that, therefore, is fundamentally a humanistic social science. To establish this claim, Homans looks back at Freud's self-analysis in light of crucial years from 1906 to 1914 when psychoanalytic movement was formed and shows how these ex…
