The AIDS crisis and the narrator’s own personal crisis meet head-on. Do add your own – either for individual books or authors, or for rec sites or round-ups – in comments! There’s also the reliqueer tag on LGBTQ Reads. While not all of these end with hugs and puppies, they do start from, or at least eventually arrive at, the assumption that being Christian and being LGBTQ are not incompatible states, and call, in one way or another, for affirmation.Īs for things I haven’t read (yet)… I’ve found Jesus in Love to be a very interesting source of recommendations. I’m adding warnings, but there’s always a possibility that I’ll not have remembered something horrible. In this post, I’m only listing books I’ve actually read, but in some cases it was a while ago. However, I’ve found a few over the years, and it only seems fair to share the intel. Now, at least part of the reason I wrote one ( now two) of my own was that I was frustrated with the lack of representation. I got chatting on Twitter with the user of the Diverse Church account about books with LGBTQ Christian characters, and how few of these there actually are. The fact that a book appears on this list doesn’t necessarily imply that I thought that it was particularly good, just that it matches the criteria in the third paragraph below. I add relevant books to it as I read them, and am always on the lookout for more. Note: this began as a spontaneous blog post in 2016 and has metamorphosed into an ongoing rec list over the years.

Little Scarlet by Walter Mosley6/28/2023 So-called ethnic detective fiction in particular, dealing with marginalized, colonized figures, clearly goes beyond mere entertainment, which is primarily why the genre has caught the attention of academics and social historians. Today, according to Jones, “crime writers, black and white alike, are tackling the volatile subject of race with a daring conspicuously lacking in mainstream fiction” (87). “Once a high-protein staple of the American literary diet,” Jones writes, “social realism fell from favor” (86). A different version enlarged with a (.)ġ In a June 2002 issue of Newsweek Malcolm Jones points to the crime novel as perhaps the only real source of contemporary social realism in America. 1 This paper was originally read during the 2001 Tours symposium.

Hildegard von bingen illuminations6/28/2023 Madeline Caviness in her study of Hildegard's art acknowledges Hildegard as the originator of the designs. She achieves this balance through an imagistic orientation of all creation to its own immanent source.Īlthough Hildegard may not have manually created the many illuminations that characterize and shape much of her work, most scholars credit her with their inspiration and conception. As both scientist and seer, Hildegard constructs a cosmology that supports her theology-that unites the realms of first and secondary cause, spirit and matter, heaven and earth, body and soul, rational and inspired thought. What especially distinguishes her work is that it reflects a Christian universe radiating with the divine energy of original creation, and reiterating through its cycles and seasons the foremost purpose of existence, the fulfillment of divine love. The illuminations are especially powerful expressions of a personal vision that reflects nonetheless the earth-centered and human-centered cosmology of the Middle Ages. HILDEGARD'S RICHLY ORGANIC iconography reflects a high degree of originality in its design.

Templeton6/28/2023 Starting this novel with a prologue, Susan Lewis introduces Amelia to us as a nine year old girl, but even from those few pages we can see what kind of person she will be in her future (and what kind of peronality she already has). This is the story about the girl who came back. „In her heart she knew what Aileen was thinking, it was what she was thinking too, but neither of them was prepared to speak the words aloud in case fate overheard and turned them into an unthinkable reality.“ The question is, what will Jules do and which of them – her or Amelia – has the most to fear? They know that justice was never served every one of them wants to make the Quentin girl pay. Friends and family gather round, fearing for Jules’s safety. Knowing the girl is coming back she needs to decide what to do. Jules’s life is very different now to the one she’d known before Amelia shattered it completely. Synopsis (from Goodreads): When Jules Bright hears a knock on the door, the last person she expects to find a detective bringing her the news she’s feared for the last three years.Īmelia Quentin is being released from prison.

The soul of the octopus review6/28/2023 You get to see her evolving interest and fascination in the creatures she meets, and there’s very little that’s more interesting than riding in someone’s head while they talk about their passions. During the course of the book, she becomes a frequent visitor at an aquarium and takes up scuba diving, observing octopuses in their natural habitat. The book is loosely structured around the various octopuses that the author has met, from initial tentative acquaintance to eventual friendship. It’s also an exploration of how intelligent an octopus actually is, and the extent to which we can form meaningful relationships with them. The Soul of an Octopus is Sy Montgomery’s account of her own fascination with the creatures. They taste with their skin and think with their arms. Octopuses (or octopodes, but never octopi) are fascinating and beautiful creatures, perhaps the most intelligent and most alien of all the other species on the planet.
