Description:
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.
