I Am Divine. So Are You [Hardcover] by Various

"I Am Divine. So Are You" explores the intersection of world religions and human sexuality. It builds on a historic 2015 panel at the Festival of Theology in Sweden, which examined the perspectives on sexuality within the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Expanding this discussion, the book incorporates insights from Karmic faiths—Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Hinduism—which represent nearly a third of the world’s population. The theology of Karmic faiths is shown to be dynamic and open to multiple interpretations, offering space for the acceptance of fluidity in human sexuality. This work positions these faiths as allies in the fight for LGBTQ rights, reshaping how religion can support, rather than oppose, queer emancipation and influencing secular and legal LGBTQ movements worldwide.
