Uncovers the queer logics of premodern religious and secular texts Putting premodern theology and poetry in dialogue with contemporary theory and politics, Queer Faith reassess the commonplace view that a modern veneration of sexual monogamy and fidelity finds its roots in Protestant thought. What if this narrative of “history and tradition” suppresses the queerness of its own foundational texts? Queer Faith examines key works of the prehistory of monogamy—from Paul to Luther, Petrarch to Shakespeare—to show that writing assumed to promote fidelity in fact articulates the affordances of promiscuity, both in its sexual sense and in its larger designation of all that is impure and disorderly. At the same time, Melissa E. Sanchez resists casting promiscuity as the ethical, queer alternative to monogamy, tracing instead how ideals of sexual liberation are themselves attached to nascent racial and economic hierarchies. Because discourses of fidelity and freedom are also discourses on racial and sexual positionality, excavating the complex historical entanglement of faith, race, and eroticism is urgent to contemporary queer debates about normativity, agency, and relationality. Deliberately unfaithful to disciplinary norms and national boundaries, this book assembles new conceptual frameworks at the juncture of secular and religious thought, political and aesthetic form. It thereby enlarges the contexts, objects, and authorized genealogies of queer scholarship. Retracing a history that did not have to be, Sanchez recovers writing that inscribes radical queer insights at the premodern foundations of conservative and heteronormative culture.

The place of religion in society has changed profoundly in the last few centuries, particularly in the West. In what will be a defining book for our time, Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean, and what, precisely, happens when a society becomes one in which faith is only one human possibility among others.

In this comprehensive exploration, the author meticulously traces the trajectory of love from its foundational roots in ancient scriptures to its contemporary manifestations in the modern world. The book embarks on its journey by elucidating the foundational elements of love within the Catholic tradition. It meticulously dissects biblical perspectives on love, scrutinizing key passages from both the Old and New Testaments. Furthermore, it delves into the teachings of early Church Fathers, such as Augustine and Jerome, illuminating their profound insights into the nature of love and its role within early Christian communities. A significant portion of the book is devoted to the exploration of love within the framework of Canon Law.

Through a meticulous examination of key encyclicals such as "Deus Caritas Est" and "Amoris Laetitia," the book unveils the rich tapestry of papal teachings on various aspects of love, ranging from eros to agape. Furthermore, it explores Vatican II documents, such as "Gaudium et Spes," shedding light on the Church's stance on love within the context of human rights and dignity. In its exploration of contemporary Catholic thought, the book engages with the perspectives of influential theologians, such as Hans Urs von Balthasar and Karl Rahner. It analyzes their works, offering insights into contemporary interpretations of love within the Catholic tradition. Moreover, it addresses the challenges and opportunities for love in the modern world, examining societal trends and discussing how Catholic teachings respond to contemporary challenges. Ultimately, "Sacred and Secular: Exploring the Evolution of Love through Catholic Teachings" culminates in a reflective conclusion, where the author encapsulates the key insights gleaned from the exploration. Through its comprehensive analysis, the book not only provides a nuanced understanding of the transformations of love across centuries but also underscores the enduring relevance of Catholic teachings on love in both sacred and secular contexts.
