Bisexual, Christian, European

Bisexual people of the Christian faith are a sector of the LGBT+ community that is under-researched, under-represented and often misunderstood. Either omitted from lesbian and gay Christian anthologies altogether, or subsumed within the homosexual community, this volume marks the first comprehensive attempt to chart the lived experiences of this group. Each chapter portrays the story from one person’s unique perspective, focusing on different main topics and using their own words. The contributors have diverse backgrounds relating to several factors, such as denomination, age, gender, or relationship status.

Carol A Shepherd (Dr.) is a freelance academic tutor, writer, preacher, LGBT+ Christian activist and public speaker. She holds a doctorate in sociology from the University of Winchester (UK) and is the author of several books on bisexuality and Christianity.

José Calvo Tello (Dr.) is an activist with a shared interest in bisexual Christian intersectional identities, and has been involved in several queer Christian activities in Göttingen. He works as researcher and subject librarian at Göttingen State and University Library and holds a doctorate in humanities from the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (Germany) in the field of digital humanities.
