Summary

"This new approach to understanding Christian theology examines Liberation Theology and Feminist Theology and marks a shift from these traditional critiques, resulting in "Indecent Theology". Using Queer theory and Post Colonial analysis the author shows more clearly how this shift, especially from gender to sexuality, has occurred. The book also looks towards the future possibilities of a theology done in times of globalisation." --
