Abstract
Drawing from sources as varied as the Catholic Catechism, feminist theologies and queer studies, this work offers a Creation-centered anthropological exposition of sexuality that is embedded in God's originating act of Eros in Creation. Recovering an understanding of sexuality that is both sacramental and erotic opens theological conversation into an understanding of Creation as portraits of erotic relationality, capable of wedding justice to sexuality. Within this theological portrait of human sexuality as an expression of God's own self-revelation in Creation, a new articulation of queer sexuality emerges, providing distinct insights into the holiness of sex. Working from multi-denominational Christian sources of queer narrative and theology, the author poses four distinct contributions or queer insights into sexuality. These contributions not only deepen our understanding of Eros and God but also sex and the common good.
