Outside the Lines: How Embracing Queerness Will Transform Your Faith by Mihee Kim-Kort

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this, although it was not what I expected completely. Kim-Kort uses queerness to describe the many situations in life when individuals do not fit the norm or go against the grain, which includes the modern reclamation of “queer” by the LGBTQ+ community, but is not limited to this. In that light, she also notes that Jesus was the ultimately queer: always doing the unexpected. I’m not particularly religious, but I enjoy theology and the spiritual ways we make sense of the world. Kim-Kort makes it clear that this is her experience and perspective and it was all still so relatable for me. She uses current events and pop culture often, which I loved.
