Gay and Lesbian Theologies

More about the book

The emergence of gay and lesbian theology has significantly transformed Christian discourse, shifting perceptions of sexuality from sinful to a divine connection. Elizabeth Stuart critiques this theology as ultimately 'bankrupt,' lacking compelling arguments for inclusion within the Church and failing to address the impact of AIDS on these communities. She argues that both supporters and opponents have become trapped in modern sexual identities, suggesting a return to a more 'queer' Christian tradition that transcends fixed gender and sexual categories for resolution.
