Flourish: An Open and Relational Queer Theology

by Michael Joseph Brennan

An Open and Relational Queer Theology is a bold and deeply affirming exploration of theology, identity, and love. Flourish challenges traditional doctrines of power, hierarchy, and exclusion, offering a liberating vision of God’s love as inclusive, dynamic, and co-creative.

Drawing from queer theology, process thought, and liberation theology, Flourish dismantles rigid binaries and invites readers into a theology that embraces fluidity, relationality, and the divine lure toward beauty and justice. Michael Joseph Brennan examines how queerness—far from being an obstacle to faith—is a powerful lens for understanding God’s creative, participatory work in the world.

For those who have been told they don’t belong, who wrestle with faith and identity, or who seek a theology that makes space for all, Flourish offers a hopeful and radical reimagining of divine love. This is not just a book about theology—it’s an invitation to co-create a world where all can thrive.
