This book borrows from the intellectual labor of queer theory in
order to unsettle-or "queer"-the discourses of "religion" and
"science," and, by extension, the "science and religion discourse."
Drawing intellectual and social cues from works by influential
theorists such as Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Eve Sedgwick,
chapters in this volume converge on at least three common features
of queer theory. First, queer theory challenges givens that on
occasion still undergird religiously and scientifically informed
ways of thinking. Second, it takes embodiment seriously. Third,
this engagement inevitably generates new pathways for thinking
about how religious and scientific "truths" matter. These three
features ultimately lend support to critical investigations into
the meanings of "science" and "religion," and the relationships
between the two.
