ABSTRACT
Rahab is to be found in the struggle of a Queer-Sophia, a Sophia of a Queer Wisdom standing alone against a process of making her straight: straight in the conversion towards a monotheistic culture and religion, manifested in a process of imperialist expansion. When Asphodel Long wrote her book, In a Chariot Drawn by Lions, she embarked, in a sense, on a Queer and postcolonial journey of finding the hidden history of the vacation, displacement and re-location of the feminine sacred, the Hochma-Sophia, or the tradition of Wisdom in the Scriptures. Rahab is to be found in the struggle of a Queer-Sophia, a Sophia of a Queer Wisdom standing alone against a process of making her straight: straight in the conversion towards a monotheistic culture and religion, manifested in a process of imperialist expansion. The need to dislocate the hetero-theologian-reader in the Scripture is crucial for those engaged in the search for an alternative Sophia of the Queer Wisdom.
