""Let’s not play around. In an era when pulpits pander to power and scrub sermons clean of danger and grit, Queer Lectionary dares real life—where our bodies bleed, laugh, grieve, resist, and rise. Peter Carlson refuses to water down what’s holy or middle-of-the-road what makes us tremble. In a time when the status quo kneels before authoritarian power, these reflections run to meet us, arms wide, full of holy mischief. These (im)proper readings are not safe. This is not tepid theology, but wild, holy disruption—a liturgical side-eye and a gospel gut-punch. We need this voice. We need this witness. Pick it up. But be warned: your days of polite nods and 'nice sermon, Pastor' at the church door are numbered. This book will mess with your preaching."" * The Rev. Jeff R. Johnson, Bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America *
