Reviews and Endorsements:

"Radical Love aims to be the field's first introductory textbook, chock full of citations and provocative study questions." -Publishers Weekly
"Patrick Cheng's Radical Love is an excellent introduction to queer theology. It is readable and nuanced, a marvelous teaching resource." -Carter Heyward
"Patrick Cheng's Radical Love is not only an excellent introduction to LGBT theology but an important contribution to the discipline of theology and the life of the church. It is a must read for anyone who cares about the health of the church and theology today." -James H. Cone
"Thoroughly Christian and thoroughly Queer, Cheng helps readers welcome a theology that leaves no one behind." -Chris Glaser
"This book is a clear, accessible and exciting analysis of Queer Theology. Cheng perfectly captures both the challenge and the rootedness of Queer Theology." -Elizabeth Stuart
"I would characterize Cheng's notion of 'radical love' as 'wild grace' with which mainstream theology has yet to wrestle. This is a good text for introducing queer theology to undergraduate and graduate students." -Bob Shore-Goss
"Radical Love - a love so extreme that it dissolves our existing boundaries! What concept could be more liberating for a culture like ours, where lives are crucified on rigid binaries like male vs. female, us vs. them, straight vs. queer? Radical Love is an excellent introduction for beginners and an excellent synthesis for more advanced readers." -Virginia Ramey Mollenkott
"While queer theory could be highly theoretical and off-putting, Cheng's Radical Love summarizes the contributions of queer theology in the last fifty years in an accessible and readable way." -Kwok Pui-lan
"The struggle now is perhaps to get enough courses in theological colleges and seminaries in which we can use this wonderful book." -Lisa Isherwood
"Even liberal Christians might be alarmed at some of the explicit images Cheng connects with God and spiritual matters." -Publishers Weekly
