What does it mean to be a prophet in queer times? Considering first the queerness of the prophet Jonah, this volume then broadens its scope to the queer prophetic in our own time, reflecting on what makes a prophet ‘queer’, and considering how public theology is itself, an example of the queer prophetic. With a broad range of international contributors, this book offers a bold and essential new addition to queer biblical studies literature.

"Queering the Prophet" explores the concept of prophecy in queer contexts, focusing on Jonah and contemporary examples. Features diverse international contributions for queer biblical studies.

\["For those interested in queer theology and biblical studies", "Addresses the need for diverse perspectives in prophecy", "You will gain fresh insights into faith and queerness"\]

This groundbreaking book explores the prophetic in queer contexts.
