More than ever before there is a need for in-depth dialogue between theology and sciences with regard to gender and human sexuality. This is especially true for Christian communities that are increasingly challenged by the many questions and experiences people have. This book provides the material to explore the various views and bring them together from a Christian perspective, based on a theological account of desire. It shows how gender, sexuality, and faith are positively connected without losing out on deep Christian values and norms.

Reviews for Unquenchable Love: Gender, Sexuality, and Theology in Conversation

"""Unquenchable Love is, besides being a very rich, thorough, and balanced study, primarily a book with a broad scope. Ren� Erwich and Almatine Leene do not shy away from controversial topics or insights that question classic Christian positions. The authors themselves are also constantly willing to be surprised by their own findings. As a result, it never becomes frenetic, but is rather a book that, above all, expresses a lot of pleasure. Perhaps most importantly, Unquenchable Love is a book in which LGBTQ+ Christians can feel safe."" --Mariecke van den Berg, professor of feminism and Christianity, Radboud University Nijmegen ""Unquenchable Love is a timely, well-written, and well-researched companion for one's own or one's church's discernment regarding gender, sexuality, and relationships. Authored by scholars with pastoral and educational experience, it offers substantial insight and encouraging pointers to develop one's own attitude. I am sure that it will serve many readers well, both when it comes to understanding the subject matter and to growing in a substantiated and charitable spirituality."" --Peter-Ben Smit, professor of contextual biblical interpretation, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam"
