ADVANCE PRAISE for Rainbow Theology

“This is a landmark book. It not only brings to the center of theological reflection the silenced but vibrant voices of LGBTIQ persons of color, but it charts ground-breaking directions for religious thought, church practices, and social and political analysis. This book is innovative, passionate, and challenging. With his rainbow theology Patrick Cheng provides for us piercing insights into God, the world, and ourselves that have been hidden from us because of our monochromatic views of the world and God. It is a must read for anyone committed to a more just world.”

— Kelly Brown Douglas, Goucher College

Author of Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective

“With characteristic grace, Cheng not only turns the complex categories of race and sexuality into accessible speech, he links them to spirit without missing a beat. Tracing commonalities while deeply respecting differences, he challenges readers to allow queer of color lived experiences of multiplicity, middle spaces, and mediation to form a more viable framework for constructive theology.”

—Laurel C. Schneider, Vanderbilt University

Author of Beyond Monotheism: A Theology of Multiplicity

“Patrick Cheng is one of the first theologians to substantively engage queer of color critique, thus fundamentally challenging the parameters of not only queer theology, but theology as a whole. This amazing book combines reader accessibility with theoretical sophistication. Cheng does not homogenize queer of color theology, but provides a comprehensive analysis of its multiple strands. The book is truly groundbreaking.”

—Andrea Smith, University of California, Riverside

Author of Native Americans and the Christian Right: The Gendered Politics of Unlikely Alliances

“In a world dominated by a binary, either-or, monochromatic approach to diversity, Rainbow Theology challenges us to recover and reclaim a theological framework that has been there from the beginning of Christianity – a place where a multiplicity of experiences and identities are held in creative tension. A place where we can create a truly inclusive beloved community of Christ.”

—Eric H.F. Law, Kaleidoscope Institute
