The Queer Identity of Religious Education
Davis, Barbara E.
Religious Education, v116 n5 p407-416 2021
Religious education is queer. At first, it may seem as if "queer" and "religious education" barely belong in the same sentence; however, a fresh look at the definition of queer within the current understanding of religious education reveals a deep connection. Playing on the historical question of Harrison Elliott, "Can Religious Education be Christian?," this paper will tease out the conflicts between religious education and queerness while ultimately showing not only how religious education can be queer but "must" be queer to reach its fullest potential.
