Queer Bible Commentary

A friend who is a minister at the Metropolitan Community Church loaned me her copy of The Queer Bible Commentary. I dislike the adjective "Queer" in the title and might never have looked at it if CL had not talked about it and/or lent it to me. I am impressed by the scholarship in this book. It is interesting and informative.

The book cover is by modern icon writer Robert Lentz.

Queer is actually used quite commonly -and accepted- the field is "Queer Studies." One of my grad papers was on "queer cinema" in Korea.

I don't like queer either, but it is a commonly used term in other countries...I'm glad the scholarship is good.
