Hornsby, Teresa J, and Ken Stone. Bible Trouble : Queer Reading at the Boundaries of Biblical Scholarship. Society of Biblical Literature : Semeia Studies, No. 67. Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2011. https://lpts.on.worldcat.org/oclc/759160308
The essays in Bible Trouble all engage queer theories for purposes of biblical interpretation. The title phrase “Bible Trouble” plays on Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble, gesturing toward a primary text for contemporary queer theory. The essays consider, among others, the Lazarus story, the Ethiopian eunuch, “gender trouble” in Judges 4 and 5, the Song of Songs, and an unorthodox coupling of the books of Samuel and the film Paris Is Burning. This volume “troubles” not only the boundaries between biblical scholarship and queer theory but also the boundaries between different frameworks currently used in the analysis of biblical literature, including sexuality, gender, race, class, history, and literature.
Gillian Townsley. The Straight Mind in Corinth : Queer Readings Across 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. Semeia Studies. Atlanta: SBL Press, 2017. https://ezproxy.lpts.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=nlebk&AN=1560522&site=ehost-live&scope=site
Despite its lack of both historical and exegetical clarity, 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 has often been fundamental to understandings of gender and sexuality in many Christian traditions. In particular, a hierarchical model of gender and a heterosexual model of sexuality tend to dominate and are presented as “natural” and “God-ordained.” With the materialist lesbian theory of Monique Wittig providing the theoretical basis for discussion, this book intersects various biblical, theological, and queer lines of inquiry across 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 in order to reveal and challenge these models of gender and sexuality that lie behind both the text itself and its various interpretations.
