Biblical Hermeneutics without Interpretation? After Affect, beyond Representation, and Other Minor Apocalypses
Affect theory, non-representational theory, and assemblage theory have been among the most impactful developments in the theoretical humanities in the wake of, and in reaction to, poststructuralism. These interlocking bodies of theory and critical practice call into question two concepts foundational for biblical hermeneutics, namely, interpretation and representation. In literary studies, the poststructuralist "death of the author" has been succ…
Body
The ancient body has, in recent decades, been reconceived in the fields of classics and early Christian studies. It has been reshaped by gender theory but also by queer theory: performativity, whether explicitly named or not, has become key for work on it. This essay reviews the recent history of the ancient body as well as representative recent studies of Synoptic bodies that analyze them primarily in terms of gender performance. The essay proce…
Religion, Emotion, Sensation: Affect Theories and Theologies
Religion, Emotion, Sensation asks what affect theory has to say about God or gods, religion or religions, scriptures, theologies, and liturgies. Contributors explore the crossings and crisscrossings between affect theory and theology and the study of religion more broadly, as well as the political and social import of such work.Bringing together affect theorists, theologians, biblical scholars, and scholars of religion, this volume enacts creativ…
Introduction. Queer Disorientations: Four Turns and a Twist
Introduction: Queerness, Time, and Biblical Interpretation
This article introduces a thematic issue of Biblical Interpretation on the “temporal turn” in queer theory as it relates to biblical studies. Queer theorists of time have variously interrogated inherited concepts of history, historiography, historicity, and/or periodicity; the chrononormativity that regulates contemporary sexual lives; reproductive futurism, which evokes “our children” and their future to shore up heteronormativity and anathemati…
Beastly Boasts and Apocalyptic Affects: Reading Revelation in a Time of Trump and a Time of Plague
Waxing "biblical," Donald Trump has described the COVID-19 pandemic as a "plague." In a different but related register, millions of Christians worldwide have interpreted the pandemic as one of the eschatological plagues prophesied in the Book of Revelation. This article appropriates the reading tactics of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, together with the resources of affect theory, to connect the Book of Revelation with both the Trump phenomen…
Introduction: Mappings and Crossings
This introduction to the volume begins with a definition of affect and proceeds to a mapping of the principal varieties of affect theory. Having critically discussed the most common mapping of the field, it proposes that affect theory may best be focused through three interconnected, yet distinct, lenses: a psychobiological lens, a prepersonal lens, and a cultural lens. The introduction then ponders possible relationships between affect theory an…

Sexual Disorientations: Queer Temporalities, Affects, Theologies
Divinanimality: Animal Theory, Creaturely Theology
Living in a Well-Serviced Urban Area Is Associated With Maintenance of Frequent Walking Among Seniors in the VoisiNuAge Study
Findings are consistent with the notion that environments may act as buoys for the maintenance of important health behaviors. Future experimental and quasi-experimental research is required to explore whether or not the environment can play a causal role in influencing patterns of walking over time
Gaelic Games, Irish Nationalist Politics and the Irish Diaspora in London, 1895–1915
This article makes an original contribution to the growing historiography on the role of sport, and more specifically, Gaelic games amongst Irish immigrant communities around the world. It does so by shedding light on the origins and early history of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century London. In particular, the article explores the ways in which membership of this organisation allowed sect…
Planetary Loves
Postcolonial theology has recently emerged as a site of intense intellectual and political energy and has taken its place in the interdisciplinary field of postcolonial studies. This book is animated by the conviction that postcolonial theology is now ready for a second, deeper phase of engagement with postcolonial theory, one that moves beyond the general to the specific. No critic has been more emblematic of the challenging and contested field …

God’s Beauty Parlor: And Other Queer Spaces in and Around the Bible
God's Beauty Parlor opens the Bible to the contested body of critical commentary on sex and sexuality known as queer theory and to masculinity studies. Through a series of dazzling rereadings staged not only in God's beauty parlor, but also in God's boudoir, locker room, and war room, the author pursues the themes of homoeroticism, masculinity, beauty, and violence through such texts as the Song of Songs, the Gospels, the Letter to the Romans, an…

The Song of Songs in the History of Sexuality
The arduous task of queering the Song of Songs, a book that is ostensibly an unequivocal celebration of male-female sexual love, was accomplished over many centuries by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church (as well as by Jewish Sages of blessed memory, though they were hampered by a modesty and restraint to which their Christian cousins were seldom subject). Night after night in their cells, by flickering candlelight, they queeried the Song of S…
