More than twenty years after Found Wanting, her acclaimed critique of Christian approaches to women's sexuality, Alison Webster presents a positive book of practical theology that gives voice to the experiences of marginalised women making sense of their spirituality and sexuality. She explores what has changed over two decades, and the challenges that remain. She puts forward a new model of faith identity based on Jesus as a boundary crosser (divine/human) and reclaims as positive the often painful and challenging place of being 'in-between', of not belonging.

Industry Reviews

'Captures the confessions of those caught between norms of church or society and the realities of their lives, identities and sexualities.' -- Linda Woodhead * Professor, Dept of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, Lancaster University *
`Theology for Alison Webster is not a sport or hobby. It is survival. Driven by the hard realities of experience and the imperative of injustice, she fearlessly dusts off the sources, norms and ends of theological imagining to reconstruct liberation and hope for those whose voice is seldom heard. If the Church, poised on its' various tightropes, is trying to balance so hard that it becomes incapable of moving, then this is a timely book that interrupts our paralysis in the name of God, calling us out, like Lazarus, to find ourselves loved to the point of tears.' -- Mark Oakley * Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral *
`Reading this book is a profound, I would say, sacramental experience. By hearing into speech the compelling stories of a range of extraordinary women, Webster reveals the Christ who transgresses all boundaries and invites us to play with him on the edges of our identities. Webster offers some signposts for the Church as it attempts to reverse itself out of the cul-de-sac it is currently caught up in over issues sexuality. Such a journey will involve turning from systems into the faces of those marginalised by them, but in those faces we will find the Christ who waits for us all with love, forgiveness and hope.' -- Professor Elizabeth Stuart * Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Winchester *
