"That being said, I would still recommend this book,because it makes a valuable contribution to an important and timelydiscussion." (INTAMS review - Journal for the Studyof Marriage & Spirituality, 18 January 2012) "Queer Theology manages to maintain both coherence and aconsistently high level of theory, debate and reflectionthroughout. While it will certainly become indispensable for thoseworking in theologies of gender, the body and sexuality, its broadcatholicity and the intellectual accomplishment of its contributorsmake it attractive reading for theologians of all stripes."(Theology, March 2009) "A broad and valuable resource ... .It] considers"real world" implications ... .Mov[ing] towardloving and nourishing notions of God and world."(Religious Studies Review)"Well researched and passionately argued, this importantcollection of essays makes an original contribution to queertheology and to the debate about theology and sexuality in thetwenty-first century." -Marcella Maria Althaus-Reid, University of Edinburgh "Several elements combine to make thiscollection the most impressive outing yet for queer theology: theintellectual stature of so many of its contributors; the principledthreading of theoretical rigor with an activist ethos thatcharacterizes so much of its contents; and the panoramic historicalsweep of the project as a whole. This volume is essential readingfor all theologians and not just queer ones; for, as its editorrightly notes, theology has always been a much queerer enterprisethan most of us have recognized." -Stephen D. Moore, Drew University
