Book SynopsisTrade Review"This volume compellingly queers what we thought we knew about sexuality and temporality in Christian texts, interpretations, and theologies. Beginning with the question of historiography in the study of ancient texts, it moves through into the queer time of ethics and theology. Bodies, texts, and time race forward, touch, pause, and tarry; they fall into catastrophe, witness, cry out, and are haunted by pain and hope; yet still they rehome readers, or afford queer pleasure. Sexual Disorientations enlivens our reading of these religious texts by compellingly queering their temporalities and affects." -- -Erin Runions Pomona College
