http://wipfandstock.com

Using a womanist methodological approach, Pamela Lightsey's book "Our Lives Matter - A Womanist Queer Theology" helps readers explore the impact of oppression against Black LBTQ women while introducing them to the emergent intellectual movement known as queer theology.

Pamela is Associate Dean for Community Life and Lifelong Learning, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Contextual Theology and Practice at Boston University School of Theology. She is also a self-identified queer lesbian ordained elder in full connection in the United Methodist Church. A national leader among LGBTQ social justice activists, Dr. Lightsey's writings have appeared in Washington Post (online), Religion Dispatches and Black Theology Journal.

About Our Lives Matter - A Womanist Queer Theology:
http://bit.ly/1YvDugI

Our Lives Matter uses the tenor of the 2014 national protests that emerged as a response to excessive police force against Black people to frame the book as following the discursive tradition of liberation theologies broadly speaking and womanist theology specifically. The author privileges their narratives and experiences as she reviews several doctrines and dogma of the Christian church. Theological reflection on contemporary debates such as same-sex marriage and ordination rights make this book a valuable resource to clergy, students of theology, LGBTQ persons and allies.
