The Sexual Theologian is the first collection of essays on radical sexual theology written by a group of internationally renowned scholars in this area. For the first time Queer theory and theology is articulated around themes from systematic theology such as Incarnation, death, the concept of God, Mariology, together with discussions on sexuality and mysticism. The essays show a "how to do" a radical sexual theology together with original, bold and transgressive thinking which have taken feminist theologies to a new dimension of action and reflection.

In the last 30 years the centre of theological reflection has been contextual and one of the most important recent developments in the field has been the research done in sexual theologies. Theology and sexuality has become not just a subject for reflection but also gives rise to a new contextual methodology. In recent years a new form of sexual theology, informed by Queer studies, has placed theology in its most radical mode. Queer theology has become a distinctive and original field of study and this new series from T&T Clark International provides a reflective and critical treatment of Queer theology. This important series will provide an emerging and challenging way of doing theology to a very diverse audience. Written in accessible language these volumes will prove attractive to both the non-academic as well as to those in the academy looking for student-friendly, yet challenging, texts.
