Faith Beyond Resentment: Fragments Catholic and Gay Review

James Alison's latest offering completely lives up to the praises on its book jackets. Joined to his profound interpretation of the New Testament, betraying an almost encyclopedic knowledge of scripture and the Catholic Tradition, is his firm grasp of the Girardian vision. But that is not all: the style of this masterpiece is witty and deeply personal, written from the ruins of contemporary culture and religion as well as the 'heart crack' of the self-identified 'much-loved queer.' Alison is asking questions that others have asked but, unlike so many others, he refuses to play the sacred victim in his critique of the church's attitudes towards homosexuality. At last we have a 'hermeneutics of suspicion' which is also turned upon the one who is suspicious, an unheard of gift in a time when so many church critics are possessed of such self- righteousness and infallibility as would make a grand inquisitor blush. The concluding section is surreal, springing perhaps from the author's time in Latin America; it is bizarre but instructive, a tragic-comic conclusion to a work of theology which is determined to burrow under the reader's skin. These 'fragments' are bombshells, exploding religious idols and making way for a whole new appreciation of the place of desire in our life with God.

Faith Beyond Resentment: Fragments Catholic and Gay Overview

Discrimination against gays and lesbians extends from the highest echelons of the Catholic Church to the pews. For James Alison, a gay Catholic theologian, the key to moving beyond resentment is a radical re-conversion to the gospel message of God's love and understanding that even those in power are our brothers and sisters.
