Dancing Theology in Fetish Boots is both a tribute and an engaged
response to the work of Marcella Althaus-Reid. A wide range of
internationally renowned theologians show the breadth and depth of
the impact she made in her all too short academic life. The
scholars gathered in these pages wish to honour her contribution
and to continue her legacy. The authors come to the work of
Marcella Althaus-Reid from a wide range of interests, disciplines
and locations. Their essays show how many applications and
extensions her work elicits in academic, political and pastoral
contexts. Lisa Isherwood is Professor of Feminist Liberation
Theologies and Director of the Institute for Theological
Partnerships at the University of Winchester. Mark D. Jordan is R.
R. Niebuhr Professor of Theology at Harvard Divinity School.

'Following the full-bodied creativity and unsparing critique that
mark the genius of Marcella Althaus Reid, this collection
constitutes no vanilla homage. It reads like a true Argentinian
tango: equal parts love-making, lament, rage, humour and challenge.
An impressive array of scholars take up and talk back to her
sacramental, liberationist, fleshy theology. The result is a
testament to Althaus-Reid's own passions for justice, for outcasts
and for celebration even in the face of death.' Laurel C.
Schneider, Professor of Theology, Ethics and Culture, Chicago
Theological Seminary 'Lisa Isherwood and Mark Jordan have gathered
a moving and inspiring collection of essays in honour of the
courageous theologian, Marcella Althaus-Reid. The essays refract
many ways in which Marcella has broken open theological spaces in a
way that is utterly unique. Like Marcella's work, they invite us to
enlarge our minds and our hearts to the outrageous openness of
embodied, incarnate love. It is to be hoped that this collection
introduces a larger readership to the consolations of queer
theology and its significance for all theological thinkers.' Wendy
Farley, Professor of Religion and Ethics, Emory University
