Publisher's Description
This project brings readers into conversation at the intersections of gender studies and Christian theology--particularly diverse feminist and queer theologies. Interrupting a Gendered, Violent Church develops over three parts to an extended essay that points to the real ways churches foster violence around gender. This volume discusses this violent reality while also exploring church as a nexus for resistance to gender-based violence and sketches the contours of a Christian theology mapped apart from patriarchal heteronormativity's hold on late modern Christian life. The goal of the Dispatches series is to offer a genuinely creative and disruptive theological-ethical ressourcement for church in the present moment. Volumes illuminate and explore, creatively and concisely, the implications and relevance of theology for the global crises of late modernity. Our authors have been invited to introduce succinct and provocative arguments intended to provoke dialogue and exchange of ideas, while setting in relief the implications of theology for political and moral life.

“What are we missing about God, love, and life because of the ways we have constructed the modern categories of gender and sexuality? Without addressing this fundamental question, Christianity will continue to be stuck in colonial and capitalist frames of power where current heterosexism rooted. This book initiates a much-needed conversation.”
“This is a fundamental book for those interested in the life of the Christian church as a place that honestly strives to live toward justice, equality, and honor. What we find here is a wealth of wisdom, powerful passion, and deep knowledge to build on an expanded notion of sexuality in relation to gender and race. Like the prophets who always interrupt us in our tracks, Anna Mercedes calls us to see, feel, change, and be transformed. Can we hear it?”
