Abstract

Abstract: An analysis of the relationship between hegemonic Christian religion and sexual dissidents exposes a
number of hermeneutical disputes, of which Marcella Althaus-Reid emerges as a prominent writer of Queer
Theology in Latin America. The objective of this article is to present Marcella Althaus-Reid's theological proposal,
using her method of indecientamiento, which breaks with the Christian moralizing tradition by proposing what the
theologian calls Indecent Theology. This article applies her theology to de/reconstruct the Christian Eucharist.
Marcella Althaus-Reid’s indecent theology is essential when critiquing the interplay between Christianity, the Bible,
and sexuality.
Keywords: Queer theology. Inclusive theology. Christianity. Bible. Eucharist.
