Contextual theologies have developed from a number of perspectives
including feminist theology, black theology, womanist theology,
Latin American liberation theology, and Asian American theology and
a wide variety of academic and general introductions exist to
examine each one. However, Radical Love is the first introductory
textbook on the subject of queer theology. In this lucid and
compelling introduction, Cheng provides a historical survey of how
queer theology has developed from the 1950s to today and then
explicates the themes of queer theology using the ecumenical creeds
as a general framework. Topics include revelation, God, Trinity,
creation, Jesus Christ, atonement, sin, grace, Holy Spirit, church,
sacraments, and last things, as seen through the lenses of LGBT
theologians. Reviews: ""Patrick Cheng's Radical Love is an
excellent introduction to queer theology. It is readable and
nuanced, a marvelous teaching resource." "--Carter Heyward, author
of Keep Your Courage: A Radical Christian Feminist Speaks and
Professor Emerita of Theology, Episcopal Divinity School" "Patrick
Cheng's Radical Love is not only an excellent introduction to LGBT
theology but an important contribution to the discipline of
theology and the life of the church. It is a must read for anyone
who cares about the health of the church and theology today."
"--James H. Cone, Charles A. Briggs Distinguished Professor of
Systematic Theology, Union Theological Seminary, New York, NY"
"Thoroughly Christian and thoroughly Queer, Cheng helps readers
welcome a theology that leaves no one behind." "--Chris Glaser,
author of As My Own Soul: The Blessing of Same-Gender Marriage and
Coming Out as Sacrament" "This book is a clear, accessible and
exciting analysis of Queer Theology. Cheng perfectly captures both
the challenge and the rootedness of Queer Theology." "--Professor
Elizabeth Stuart, Pro Vice-Chancellor, University of Winchester, UK
" "I would characterize Cheng's notion of 'radical love' as 'wild
grace' with which mainstream theology has yet to wrestle. This is a
good text for introducing queer theology to undergraduate and
graduate students." "--Rev. Dr. Bob Shore-Goss, Senior
Pastor/Theologian, Metropolitan Community Church in the Valley,
North Hollywood, CA" "Radical Love - a love so extreme that it
dissolves our existing boundaries What concept could be more
liberating for a culture like ours, where lives are crucified on
rigid binaries like male vs. female, us vs. them, straight vs.
queer? Radical Love is an excellent introduction for beginners and
an excellent synthesis for more advanced readers." "--Virginia
Ramey Mollenkott, author of Sensuous Spirituality and Omnigender,
among many other books." ""
