| Summary: | Queer is sometimes used as a synonym for LGBT identities, and sometimes as a signal of rejection of identity of all kinds. Queer theologies fall into two main streams, liberationist and subversive, and often involve a thoroughgoing disruption of norms of all kinds, asking questions about power, language, and the limits of identity. Queer theologians and interpreters re-read and re-frame aspects of biblical, historical, moral, pastoral, doctrinal, systematic and constructive Christian theology in light of queer people's lives, concerns and politics. This includes intersectional reflection on ethnicity, disability, class and socio-economic location. |
