The manifestation of queer theology: The act of 'promulgating universal joy and expiating stigmatic guilt' through the (re)inscription of rituals, artefacts, devotional practices and place

Abstract

Various forms of sexuality have, over the last few decades, been a key issue in Christian theological discussion. Homosexuality has been the focus of some of the most heated of these debates. It is a central issue, as one may perceive obvious injunctions against homosexual behaviour in both the Old and New Testaments, starting with Genesis 19:1-29 and carrying through to Corinthians 6:9-11 and beyond.
