Linn Marie Tonstad is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School. She is the author of God and Difference (2016).
"This pacey, accessible introduction steers a course adroitly
through queer theology's choppy waters without flattening out its
complexities. Tonstad orients readers to theological and cultural
markers they will recognize, and lucidly outlines some emerging
developments in the field."
--Susannah Cornwall, Lecturer, University of Exeter, United
Kingdom
"Because we cannot all enroll in Linn Marie Tonstad's Queer
Theology seminar, we owe it to ourselves, and to the vitality of
queer theology itself, to read--and re-read--this book so we can
learn from the one of its best practitioners the radical art of
queer theological truth-telling."
--Kent Brintnall, Associate Professor, University of North Carolina
at Charlotte
"Linn Tonstad is the best queer theologian of her generation, and
she has written a superb introduction to the field. Tonstad lucidly
explicates, and she judges, pointing to the limitations of queer
theological projects that are insufficiently intersectional in
their analysis as well as the possibilities being unleashed by a
younger generation of queer theologians who adamantly refuse
heteropatriarchy, racism, colonialism, and capitalism--all the
while taking Christian traditions seriously."
--Vincent Lloyd, Associate Professor, Villanova University
"In this brilliant burst of theological becoming, Linn Tonstad
leads us beyond liberal
apologetics for sexual difference. Queer Theology reveals something
indispensable and yet irreducible to theology itself: arching
between desire and death, theology here faces its deformations and
unleashes its transformations. Vibrantly engaging her students as
well as her theorists, the text queers the deep questions of
Christianity."
--Catherine Keller, Professor, Drew University, The Theological
School
"At last, a truly helpful introduction to a hotly contested notion:
'queer theology.' Tonstad clarifies in graceful prose the
limitations, stakes, and pleasures of what could be queer in
Christian theology. Timely and long overdue, this book will help
students, queer theologians, and other theological adventurers
recognize the far deeper challenges and possibilities that queer
theologies beyond apology may offer to Christian understanding and
justice-making efforts."
--Laurel C. Schneider, Professor, Vanderbilt University
