Radical Love

Introduction to Queer Theology

About this book

The first introductory textbook on the subject of queer theology.

Contextual theologies have developed from a number of perspectives โ€“ including feminist theology, black theology, womanist theology, Latin American liberation theology, and Asian American theology โ€“ and a wide variety of academic and general introductions exist to examine each one. However, Radical Love is the first introductory textbook on the subject of queer theology.

In this lucid and compelling introduction, Cheng provides a historical survey of how queer theology has developed from the 1950s to today and then explicates the themes of queer theology using the ecumenical creeds as a general framework. Topics include revelation, God, Trinity, creation, Jesus Christ, atonement, sin, grace, Holy Spirit, church, sacraments, and last things, as seen through the lenses of LGBT theologians.
