Roger A. Sneed offers an alternative approach to black homosexuality for black religious scholars who have traditionally viewed homosexuality as a problem. Instead, by drawing on a range of black gay writers, Representations of Homosexuality points black religious scholarship towards an ethics of openness.

"This important work by Sneed challenges theologies that ground themselves in Black experience - Black and Womanist, to recognize that without the inclusion of the experience of gay Black men our work is incomplete. This book will add significantly to conversations about the future of Black and Womanist theologies." - Stephen G. Ray Jr., Professor of Systematic Theology and Neal and Ila FisherChair of Theology, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
