From an interdenominational group of preachers and scholars, a queer commentary to address recent concerns around LGBTQ+ rights.

This preaching resource features commentaries on every Sunday and feast day reading in the Revised Common Lectionary from an interdenominational group of scholars and homileticians. Offering queer interpretations of biblical texts, the series will appeal to scholars of queer theology and will support preachers in crafting sermons that convey a message of liberation, rather than one that reinforces the power structures of the world. 


A Queer Lectionary features commentators from a variety of liturgical traditions, including clergy and scholars from the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, African Methodist Episcopal Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Metropolitan Community Churches, and beyond. Written to enable preachers to engage with every assigned text, each volume features sermons that respond to every lesson in each lectionary entry. 

Industry Reviews
"Let’s not play around. In an era when pulpits pander to power and scrub sermons clean of danger and grit, Queer Lectionary dares real life—where our bodies bleed, laugh, grieve, resist, and rise. Peter Carlson refuses to water down what’s holy or middle-of-the-road what makes us tremble. In a time when the status quo kneels before authoritarian power, these reflections run to meet us, arms wide, full of holy mischief. These (im)proper readings are not safe. This is not tepid theology, but wild, holy disruption—a liturgical side-eye and a gospel gut-punch. We need this voice. We need this witness. Pick it up. But be warned: your days of polite nods and 'nice sermon, Pastor' at the church door are numbered. This book will mess with your preaching."
