"That being said, I would still recommend this book, because it makes a valuable contribution to an important and timely discussion." ( INTAMS review - Journal for the Study of Marriage & Spirituality, 18 January 2012) "Queer Theology manages to maintain both coherence and a consistently high level of theory, debate and reflection throughout. While it will certainly become indispensable for those working in theologies of gender, the body and sexuality, its broad catholicity and the intellectual accomplishment of its contributors make it attractive reading for theologians of all stripes." ( Theology , March 2009) "A broad and valuable resource ... .It] considers "real world" implications ... .Mov[ing] toward loving and nourishing notions of God and world."
