Intro -- Title page -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- Chapter 1 Black Women's Experience and Queer Black Women's Lives -- Chapter 2 Philosophical Background to Queer Theology -- Chapter 3 Enable Queer-y -- Chapter 4 The Biblical Crisis God For Us -- Chapter 5 Co-Caretakers of a Bountiful Blessing -- Chapter 6 Transforming Until Thy Kin(g)dom Come -- Chapter 7 Imago Dei We Flesh That Needs Lovin' -- Epilogue -- Bibliography.
Summary: 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. Using a womanist methodological approach, Pamela R. Lightsey helps readers explore the impact of oppression against Black LBTQ women while introducing them to the emergent intellectual movement known as queer theology. 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.
