Queer Theology

• Queer theology is a theological field developed during the first decades of the twenty-first century. In queer activism as well as in queer theory, this insult is turned on its head. The deconstructive and anti-normative use of queer theory has given rise to critique, questioning the value of a concept that intentionally is kept empty. In that way, queer perspectives facilitate a questioning of normality, whether related to sexuality, gender, or understandings of God, or a combination of them all. The social context of the gender analysis consists of changes related to gender and families, which are one aspect of the challenges facing European welfare systems. Qualitative methods have the potential of placing experiences of queer Christian life, issues of power and justice, of pandemics and threats against climate and environment, of caring and vulnerability, at the center of theological reflection.
