Radical Love: Introduction to Queer Theology by Patrick S. Cheng (English) Paper

FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Contextual theologies have developed from a number of perspectives – including feminist theology, black theology, womanist theology, Latin American liberation theology, and Asian American theology – 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.

Dr. Bob Shore-Goss, Senior Pastor/Theologian, Metropolitan Community Church in the Valley, North Hollywood, CA"Radical Love - a love so extreme that it dissolves our existing boundaries!

Radical Love is an excellent introduction for beginners and an excellent synthesis for more advanced readers."—Virginia Ramey Mollenkott, author of Sensuous Spirituality and Omnigender, among many other books"Chengs work provides an accessible if somewhat rushed glimpse into how queer theology works; its main benefit is the extensive bibliography for those wanting more."—Publishers Weekly * Publishers Weekly * Long Description Contextual theologies have developed from a number of perspectives - including feminist theology, black theology, womanist theology, Latin American liberation theology, and Asian American theology - and a wide variety of academic and general introductions exist to examine each one.
