Sexuality, religion and faith often have complex and conflicting
interactions, on both personal and societal levels. Numerous
studies have been conducted on queer subjects, but they have
predominantly focused on 'Western' expressions of faith and queer
identities. This book contributes to the wider scholarship on queer
subjects by drawing on actual lived experiences of self-identifying
gay and bisexual men in Malaysia. It discusses what we can learn
from the realities of their lives that intersect with their
religious, spiritual, theological or humanistic values in an Asian
context. Analysed within the critical frameworks of queer theory
and queer sexual theology, this study divulges the meanings
ascribed to sexual identities and practices, as well as
conceptualisations of masculinity, sexual desire, love and intimate
physical connections. It also lays bare the complex negotiations
between gender, desire and spirit, and how they can affect one
another. Tying fascinating case studies and underexplored Asian
theologies with wider conversations around sexuality and faith,
this book will be of significant interest to scholars working in
religious studies, theology, queer studies, sexuality studies and
Asian studies.
