Detail Cantuman Kembali
Contemporary Christianity and LGBT sexualities
- Bagikan:
This collection is exceptionally interesting, clear and readable, it is full
of key source material useful for thinking through the myriad inflections of
LGBT sexualities, spiritualities and belief. It reminds us that in the West we are
supposedly post-Christian, yet many ‘authentic selves’ still find respite in, and
actively seek, the established Church, a historical home for the marginalised. The
chapters within manage to be noteworthy and distinct, yet pleasingly they cohere
thematically; what Stephen Hunt has given us is a fascinating, well-informed and
structured insight into LGBT sexualities and contemporary Christianity, within the
best traditions of ethical sociology. Spirituality exceeds the rational explanation,
there is always some lurking ‘other’ occurring when we read about religion, a
provocation, a discomfort perhaps, a reminder of our not-self and what remains
elusive. In this book there is plenty for the reader to engage with, amongst my
own responses I felt much pleasure, disturbance, curiosity and resonance, it
posed memories, problematised the present, hinted at a future but I am sure you
will discover your own significant insights, affective and rational, in this most
interesting of collections
