{"product_id":"happy-mark-jennings-9783031201431","title":"Happy: LGBTQ+ Experiences of Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book relates the unique experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer\/Questioning (LGBTQ+) people in Australian Pentecostal-Charismatic Christian churches. Grounded in the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Lewis Coser, and others, the book exposes the discursive 'battleground' over the 'truth' of sex which underlies the participants' stories. These rich and complex narratives reveal the stakes of this conflict, manifested in 'the line' - a barrier restricting out LGBTQ+ people from full participation in ministry and service. Although some participants related stories of supportive--if typically conservative--congregations where they felt able to live out an authentic, integrated faith, others found they could only leave their formerly close and supportive communities behind, 'counter-rejecting' the churches and often the faith that they felt had rejected them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Jennings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031201434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031201431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Mark Jennings","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089072500991,"sku":"9783031201431","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f283a84-225e-4e64-80de-047d9a2b149d.jpg?v=1769108045","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/happy-mark-jennings-9783031201431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
