This review is from: Defying the Darkness: Gay Theology in the Shadows (Paperback)
This is the first real work on a gay theology as opposed to spirituality I have come across. Clark does a decent effort at applying the formula used in doing feminist theology to his own community. I disagree with his conclusions on ditching God due to many gay men's negative experiences with their fathers. I think he would have been much better served in that area if he utilized Sallie Mac Fague's work on metaphore. Overall, Clark did a decent job in exploring an area that has not been adequately developed namely the application of the gay experience to the theological enterprise.
Given the rudimentary groundwork done by Clark, I think the issue needs to be revisited now with a broader perspective given the advent of new AIDS treatments has changed dramatically since Clark wrote. Once again, this was an excellent academic effort in the field. |
