Text:
Marcella Althaus-Reids Indecent theology is a milestone within transformative queer theology. At the heart of her work she brings together queer theory with liberation theology and a materialist perspective. Three concepts that are often in tension or even brought into opposition with one another. The lecture wants to show how Althaus-Reids work combines these concepts in order to transform not only traditional theology but also the main concerns of a queer theology that really want to deliver what it promises - a better life for all.
