Faith and Queer Consciousness Philosophical Thinking in a New Key

Author Name: Allan M. Savage | Format: Paperback | Genre : BODY, MIND & SPIRIT | Other Details

This is a book on Western philosophy. And in the Western tradition philosophy can serve theology as theologians know. My thinking is philosophical and at the same time is related to theology. While the two are distinct within a Western religious context they are not unrelated as some contemporary philosophers might suggest. Therefore, I contend that philosophy, as an intellectual tool, when used within theological interpretation could help anyone seeking knowledge of queer issues in a religious context. Thus, individuals must look at themselves and perceive more than what lies on the surface of their experience. They must take into account their evolutionary history, overcome the negative consequences of past failures in life, and subsequently reorient themselves to the future. In this effort, they would be philosophizing in a new key.  Philosophizing in a new key means that the sexual peculiarities of human nature are to be recognized and respected in light of LGBTQ issues. This recognition of sexual peculiarities and subsequent respect for human nature have significant consequences for the gay person.
