A unique combination of sermons, essays and storytelling, Queerly Lutheran provocatively examines the roots of Lutheran tradition and delivers Good News to Lutherans of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Using the sex life of Martin Luther as a model, Queerly Lutheran invites readers and the contemporary church to reexamine our past and work towards a more welcoming future.

This text includes an Extraordinary Prayer Calendar for congregations and individuals who would like to include queer saints (past and present) to their prayer life.

Queerly Lutheran: Ministry Rooted in Tradition, Scripture and the Confessions Reviews

  • Christina Dongowski

    Even if you‘re not very well versed in Lutheran theology, especially about sexuality, it’s very easy to follow Rohrer’s arguments regarding LGBTQIA-persons not only as valuable members of Lutheran communities & church, but as ministers & priests. What I found especially valuable in their discussion of the concept of priesthood of all really means, is how Rohrer tackles the fact of 2000 years of misogynistic, sexist, homophobic traditions inside the Christian faith & especially in Lutheran theology: They really clear a safe space for queer people inside the faith by obstinately sticking to the core of Christian faith & excavating queer (or queerly readable) traditions out of the rubble of patriarchal, hetero-sexist theology & church practice.
    But be warned: The e-book is an editing mess.
