Long abstractReligion is much queerer than we ever imagined. Nature is as well. These are the two basic insights that have led to this book: we hope to queerly go where no thinkers have gone before. The combination of queer theory and religion has been happening for at least 25 years. People such as John Boswell began to exam-ine the history of religious traditions with a queer eye, and soon after we had the indecent theology of Marcella Althaus Ried. Jay Johnston, one of the authors in this volume, is among those who have used the queer eye to interrogate authority within Chris-tian theological traditions. At the same time, interrogating na-ture from a queer perspective has begun, perhaps most notably in the work of Joan Roughgarden’s Evolution’s Rainbow and with the works of Anne Fausto-Sterling. However, the intersections of religion, nature, and queer theory have largely been left un-touched. With the exception of Dan Spencer, the author of the Introduction for this volume and one of the early pioneers in this realm of thought with his book Gay and Gaia, and Greta Gaard, whose work is developing a queer ecofeminist thought, authors have largely ignored religion and nature or religion and ecology in the realm of queer theory.
