“The Sexuality of God”
Wednesday, September 11, 2013
1 -2 PM EDT
Linn Marie Tonstad is a constructive theologian working at the intersection of systematic theology with feminist and queer theory. Her research interests focus on the relationship between the doctrine of God and anthropology, or the way in which God is thought to be similar or different from visions of human beings.
She is currently completing her first book, provisionally entitled “God and Difference: Experimental Trinitarian Theology,” where she examines and critiques the visions of divine personhood advanced by a number of contemporary theologians. She pays particular attention to the implications of such visions for thinking about sex, gender, and sexuality in contemporary Christian theology.

She did nothing but enjoy and it was everything.
