Reading Secrets: A Queer Inheritance of Life and Scripture - Malcolm Himschoot

Descriere Reading Secrets: A Queer Inheritance of Life and Scripture - Malcolm Himschoot

A trans pastor's fascination with the Scripture inherited from his closeted, fundamentalist father. \n\n \n\n When his dad died, Malcolm Himschoot inherited his father's Bibles. He chose to re-read them, examining his dad's notes in the margins, teasing out the details of his upbringing and gender identity amid the structures and forms of biblical narratives. For Malcolm, coming out meant exile and verbal excommunication; he embodied all his gay father tried to hide. In Reading Secrets, Malcolm travels alongside the ghost of his father, exploring their inherited homophobia and the American culture that shaped their triumphs and tragedies. With these poetic and evocative meditations, Malcolm transforms the Scripture he inherited, and finds a place in it for himself. \n\n
