A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION

What this book explores

A concise introduction to queer theology organized around radical love, sin, Christ, church, and last things.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Why it’s in the Library

It moves beyond arguing whether LGBTQ people may belong and asks what queer lives can reveal theologically. The book provides a concise map for travelers ready to explore construction after critique.

Good starting place if…

You want an accessible introduction to queer Christian theology organized around creation, radical love, sin, Jesus, church, and hope.

Know before you begin…

Cheng writes constructively from queer Christian commitments and introduces a field rather than neutrally surveying every position on sexuality or gender. Traditional doctrines are reread through queer experience and liberation.
