Product Overview
The DARE Primer on Global Queer Theologies offers a radical
redefinition of academic discourse and spiritual praxis through the lens
of queer Christian theologians from around the world. This
groundbreaking volume features contributions from scholars across
Malaysia, Rwanda, India, the USA, the UK, Colombia, Nigeria, Mexico and
El Salvador, each bringing a unique perspective to the forefront of
theological study. Engaging with systematic theology, pastoral care,
missiology, ritual, liturgical experiences, and spirituality, these
theologians illuminate the transformative impact of queer theologies on
traditional religious frameworks. At its core, the book delves deeply
into the nuanced interplay between faith and sexuality, unravelling the
intricate beliefs that shape the lives of queer believers. The
contributors' profound reflections offer a rich tapestry of insights,
demonstrating how queer theologies not only challenge but actively
reshape contemporary theological understanding, religious practice, and
missionary work. This work is indispensable for scholars and
practitioners seeking to grasp the radical and far-reaching implications
of queer theologies in a global context.
