Polyamorous Theology: A Dialogical Experiment in Thinking offers a bold, conversational exploration of polyamory through the lens of Christian theology. In this intimate dialogue, cisgender homosexual polyamorous theologian Rev. Dr. Bryan Allen Demeritte and cisgender heterosexual monogamous theologian Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood weave lived relational experience with liberation theology, queer theology, and progressive Christian thought. They reimagine the Trinity, Christ, the Holy Spirit, transcendence, and divine love as expansive, inclusive, and boundary-breaking-emphasizing polyamory's focus on transformative, extravagant love rather than mere sexuality. Distinguishing polyamory from ethical non-monogamy, the authors confront jealousy, celebrate compersion, and envision a "polyamorous spirit" that invites deeper intimacy and wider community. This rare cross-perspective collaboration uncovers surprising common ground in love, challenging traditional norms while opening pathways for spiritual growth in faith and relationships.
