  • Description: The letters of Paul are among the most commonly cited biblical texts in ongoing cultural and religious disputes about gender, sexuality, and embodiment. Joseph Marchal addresses Paul's letters from the perspective of queer theory and juxtaposes figures from the letters who vary in their gender, sexuality, and embodiment with modern examples in order to defamiliarize and reorient what can be known about both.
