Description
Summary:This article traces the development of queer theology from its roots in liberation theology and poststructuralist gender theory. Starting with the challenges of terminology in the face of a rapidly changing social context, the authors outline the recent, interrelated histories of LGBT liberation theologies that focus on historically oppressed identity groups and of queer theologies that attempt to think theologically beyond essentialist categories of identity. Finally, they speculate on emergent challenges to queer and LGBT liberationist studies in religion.
