Indecent Theology: What F-ing Difference Does It Make?

INDECENT Theology (Book); LINGUISTS; THEOLOGY; CHRISTIANS

This article is a response by a body theologian to Indecent Theology written by Marcella Althaus-Reid. The author takes Eve Ensler as a companion in a journey which attempts to spit out phallocentric meaning and engage with wicked and wordy cunning linguists as they move towards more honest telling-theology from the body. The author examines the divine masquerade, which is encouraged by some Christian theology and calls for a stripping away of such pretence and an acknowledgment of what play we are actually engaged in so that we may come closer to what it is we are attempting to express about the divine.
