Intersectional Theology and Its Origins

The authors emphasize the importance of intersectionality in theological discourse, drawing from gender, race, and social justice perspectives. They reflect on how their previous work laid the groundwork for the current book, which aims to tackle the complex issues surrounding gender violence and sexual abuse. The rise of the Me Too movement served as a poignant backdrop, prompting them to confront these topics based on their personal experiences as survivors. This intersectional approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of theology that incorporates the multifaceted identities and experiences of individuals affected by systemic abuse.
