Intersectional Theology: An Introductory Guide offers a pathway for
reflective Christians, pastors, and theologians to apply the
concepts and questions of intersectionality to theology.
Intersectionality is a tool for analysis, developed primarily by
black feminists, to examine the causes and consequences of
converging social identities (gender, race, class, sexual identity,
age, ability, nation, religion) within interlocking systems of
power and privilege (sexism, racism, classism, heterosexism,
ableism, ageism, nativism) and to foster engaged, activist work
toward social justice. Applied to theology, intersectionality
demands attention to the Christian thinker's own identities and
location within systems of power and the value of deep
consideration of complementary, competing, and even conflicting
points of view that arise from the experiences and understandings
of diverse people. This book provides an overview of theories of
intersectionality and suggests questions of intersectionality for
theology, challenging readers to imagine an intersectional church,
a practice of welcome and inclusion rooted in an ecclesiology that
embraces difference and centers social justice. Rather than
providing a developed systematic theology, Intersectional Theology
encourages readers to apply its method in their own theologizing to
expand their own thinking and add their experiences to a larger
theology that moves us all toward the kin-dom of God.
