"This book takes up the question of Christian queer theology and ethics through the
contested lens of "redemption." Starting from the root infinitive "to deem," the authors
argue that queer lives and struggles can illuminate and re-value the richness of embodied
experience that is implied in Christian incarnational theology and ethics. Offering
a set of virtues gleaned from contemporary lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex,
queer, and asexual (LGBTIQA) lives and communities, this book introduces a new framework
of ethical reasoning. Battered and wrongly condemned by life-denying theologies of
redemption and dessicating ethics of virtue, this book asserts that the resilience,
creativity, and epistemology manifesting in queer lives and communities are essential
to a more generous and liberative Christian theology. In this book, queer "virtues"
not only reveal and re-value queer soul but expose covert viciousness in the traditional
(i.e., inherently colonial and racist, and thus ungodly) "family values" of dominant
Christian ethics and theology. It argues that such re-imagining has redemptive potential
for Christian life writ large, including the redemption of God. This book will be
a key resource for scholars of queer theology and ethics as well as queer theory,
gender and race studies, religious studies, and theology more generally."--Publisher
