ABSTRACT

This article examines the queer theology of Marcella Althaus-Reid in light of the author’s recent qualitative research with bisexual women in the Greater Toronto Area. Althaus-Reid identifies herself as a “queer among queers,” and her work builds upon postcolonial and liberation theology. Five themes in her work offer a framework for constructing a bisexual feminist theology: (1) valuing queer culture, (2) sexualizing theology, (3) reframing authority, (4) taking metaphor seriously, and (5) reclaiming the sacred. The author notes the promise and problems in Althaus-Reid’s work on these subjects and offers some directions for bisexual feminist theology.
