"Once you understand that your queerness and your spirituality are not in opposition, a new adventure in biblical interpretation awaits. This book is the perfect companion for queering the Bible—rich in insight and compassion."—Casper ter Kuile, author of The Power of Ritual
The essential introduction or reconnection to the Bible for queer readers from the co-founders of QueerTheology.com.
“As we dove back into the story of creation in Genesis 1 and 2, trying to look at it with fresh eyes, I realized I had visited the Garden of Eden before. It was as if, like Saul, the scales had fallen off my eyes and suddenly I could see what had been there all along. The Bible has always been queer.”
When Brian Murphy and Shannon L. Kearns created Queer Theology, the longest-running LGBTQ+ Christian podcast and the community QueerTheology.com, they defined a new genre in talking about LGBTQ+ identity and faith that has now reached more than 3 million people in over 200 countries. Reading the Bible through Queer Eyes is the resource they wish they had as they reconciled their faith with their identities. It looks for queerness in sacred Scripture not for the sake of representation, but with an eye toward liberation for all marginalized people.
These readings make familiar Bible stories come to new life, offering powerful and liberatory insights that will change the way readers engage their bodies, their sexuality, and the world in their faith. A few examples of the inspiring multitudes contained in this book:
- discovering a new gay Garden of Eden in a suburban park;
- a connection between Palm Sunday and ACT-UP AIDS activism;
- queer bodies offered as living sacrifices and holy worship through activism, sex, and community care;
- understanding divine covenant through a lens of kink;
- and the story of Doubting Thomas as a reminder of the sacredness of transgender scars.
With more and more people questioning binaries and boundaries, and searching for answers, Reading the Bible through Queer Eyes provides companionship and encourages you to live out your faith in public and transform yourself and the world.
"Bursting with holy wisdom, epiphany and revelation—I went in a skeptic and came out a believer. Shannon and Brian's ability to shine a queer light on the bible had me underlining every other page and nodding in agreement. To find myself not just present but celebrated in the midst of stories that have often been used to harm and exclude—was maybe the greatest gift of all."—singer-songwriter Namoli Brennet
