My Favourite Theologian: Marcella Althaus-Reid

Marcella Althaus-Reid (1952-2009)

Kirsty Ann Mabbott

Marcella Althaus-Reid specialised in liberation, feminist and queer theology and was the first woman professor of theology at New College, University of Edinburgh.

Althaus-Reid believed that ‘queer’ theology doesn’t only represent the LGBT*+ community[1], but creates a space for resistance to all ‘standardised regimes’ of church and state through re-creation, re-imagination and re-visioning of how things are and could be.
