Flourish: An Open and Relational Queer Theology

Description

Flourish: An Open and Relational Queer Theology is a bold and deeply affirming exploration of theology, identity, and love. Flourish challenges traditional doctrines of power, hierarchy, and exclusion, offering a liberating vision of God’s love as inclusive, dynamic, and co-creative.

Drawing from queer theology, process thought, and liberation theology, Flourish dismantles rigid binaries and invites readers into a theology that embraces fluidity, relationality, and the divine lure toward beauty and justice. Michael Joseph Brennan examines how queerness—far from being an obstacle to faith—is a powerful lens for understanding God’s creative, participatory work in the world.

For those who have been told they don’t belong, who wrestle with faith and identity, or who seek a theology that makes space for all, Flourish offers a hopeful and radical reimagining of divine love. This is not just a book about theology—it’s an invitation to co-create a world where all can thrive.

Seeks a faith that is both intellectually honest and spiritually liberating.
Wonders how queer identities and theology intersect.
Wants to explore how Open and Relational Theology reshapes our understanding of God, love, and justice.
