Synopsis

Vividly discerns a future where the margins truly define the centre, where queerness is truly liberative for the whole church

• ’A clarion call to kindness. A thoughtful and well-argued piece which should be read by those with faith or without’ – Sandi Toksvig
• Explores human flourishing relating to LGBT people, drawing on scientific and experiential knowledge - a living tradition - ignored by other Christian theological works
• Charlie Bell has a growing reputation as a writer and advocate on issues of faith, sexuality, theology and medicine

What might happen, asks Charlie Bell, author of the acclaimed Queer Holiness, if what we know about queer lives, loves and relationships was taken as read, rather than treated as a matter of debate? From this starting point, how might we do and think things differently in Christian life, our theology, and in the Church as an institution? Following the apologetics approach of Queer Holiness, Queer Redemption looks to a future when the margins truly define the centre, where queerness is truly liberative for the whole church.
