Undoing Theology: Life Stories from Non-normative Christians (SCM Research)

The fundamental issue with 'queer' research is it cannot exist in any definable form, as the purpose of queer is to disrupt and disturb. Undoing Doing generates a process of 'undoing' as central to queer research enquiries. Aiming to engage in a process which breaks free from traditional academic norms, the text explores three life stories: an intersex-identifying Catholic, a former 'ex-gay' minister and a Christian who engages in bondage and fetishist practices. Employing an 'undoing' methodology, which liberates the researcher and allows intuitive, reflective and creative methods, the book makes a significant contribution to the fields of gender, sexuality and queer studies in religion, both empirically and theoretically.
