By affirming queer experience, they not only liberate themselves from scriptures that are traditionally oppressive to LGBTQI+ people, but also liberate the Bible from homophobia, transphobia, oppression, misogyny,\u00a0 and hetero\/binary gender system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 In contemporary biblical interpretation, we can no longer ignore interpretations from the perspectives of marginalized, feminist, womanist, black, gay and lesbian, postcolonial, Asian, African Diaspora, in other words, interpreting the Bible is no longer dominated by a particular group of people traditionally white heterosexual males. For the past thirty years, queer theologies and queer biblical interpretation have gradually come of age as a result of many courageous lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex people who come out to challenge the essentialist notions of sex, gender identity and sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 The development of queer theologies and queer biblical interpretation in the context of Hong Kong is in existence for less than ten years, and since 2014 to now, LGBTQI theologians, biblical scholars\u00a0 and pastors from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China met together to explore theology and interpret the Bible from their own queer experiences. As a result of the collaboration between these three regions, this book comprises of eighteen articles on queer interpretation of the Bible in Asian Chinese contexts published in Chinese. In these articles, the authors engage in a proactive approach with issues such as family diversity, intersectionality, polyamory,\u00a0 intersex in the Creation Story, sex workers and queer sexual ethics.<\/p>\n<p>Book Launch (Hong Kong) April 22, 2018<\/p>\n<p>Book Discussion Clubs (Hong Kong) June, August, 2018<\/p>\n<p>Book Launch (Taiwan) October 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sexual\/Beings III: \u00a0Queering Hermeneutics in Asian Chinese Contexts Published by Queer Theology Academy and Hong Kong Christian Institute Limited Selling Price : HK$108 \u00a0 We are more than happy to present our new book \u201cSexual\/Beings III: Queering Hermeneutics in Asian Chinese Contexts\u201d to you!
