The previous volume of essays, Five Uneasy Pieces was warmly received. People of faith and spirituality were looking for liberating understandings of the Bible in engagement with their own sexualities and those of friends, family and beyond. The book demonstrated clearly that oppressive uses of selected texts from the Bible were invalid. But more is needed. The obligation upon scriptural scholars is to establish scripture's hospitable inclusion of those whose sexual identities have been subjected to such oppression. Pieces of Ease and Grace retrieves biblical texts as actively embracing gays and lesbians within the community of faith. Their stories profoundly intersect with those of scripture. Here is a collection of biblical essays on sexuality and welcome that restores the Bible as a book of grace to those whose sexual identities had previously been lost, or condemned, in interpretation.
The success of the ATF publication Five Uneasy Pieces, edited by Nigel Wright, has prompted the desire to take the biblical hermeneutical exercise a step further. The book demonstrated clearly that the texts that have been used to slam gay and lesbian are in fact misused, with little or no regard either for ancient context or for contemporary hermeneutics. However, as all biblical liberationist projects have demonstrated, it is not enough to invalidate oppressive uses of selected texts. The obligation is to establish Scripture's hospitable inclusion of those who have been subjected to such oppression. Accordingly, a follow-up volume is being published Pieces of Ease and Grace. It is to contain creditable expositions of passages of Scripture that can be read as specifically welcoming of gays and lesbians in their own self-defined identities. is more than a generalized divine invitation to the world; it requires a retrieval of those texts that actively embrace gays and lesbians.
