The Queer God
The Queer God is a book about Sade, Sexuality and Liberation Theology. Following the style of doing theology from the previous book Indecent Theology, The Queer God becomes the first book to explore in depth the development of a Queer, political theology engaged with the marginalised and oppressed, done from the margins and openly Queer.
Some of the themes from the Queer God:
* How to do Salsa and Theology. Reflections for Latinas taking rosaries
and love letters to Salsa bars.
* The Hermeneutical Circle of de Sade. What are the challenges that
the epistemology of the libertine presents to Liberation theology?
* Reading the Bible in relation to the writings of Klossowski, Bataille
and Queer Latin American contemporary writers. Bataille's Madame Edwarda
and the Whore God. Klossowski and the Holy Spirit in Roberte ce Soir.
The Trinity and Federico Andahazi's The
Anatomist. Sodom and Kathy Acker's Empire of the Senseless.
* Re-thinking the Trinity from a sexual Queer perspective.
* Re-thinking church traditions: The fight of indigenous people aginst
the sexual impositions of Christianity in Latin America. Traditional bisexual
spirituality and culture in Latin America: the case of a bisexual town.
* Queer Holiness: The spirituality of the Logo vs the spirituality
of the destitute.
The Queer God is a call to 'disaffiliation' processes in theology. To be unfaithful to sexual ideological constructions of God in order to liberate God- a Queer God who also needs to come out of the closet of theologians of the status quo.
