    Maximus the Confessor believed that human nature was originally genderless and sexless and that humans would have this sexless nature restored to them in the resurrection. This paper contextualises Maximus’ theology within a landscape of ascetic, gender ambiguity, and considers what relevance his thought could have for today, given his rising importance in theological ethics. In particular, I focus on teasing out the contemporary ethical implications of sex and gender belonging to tropos – a malleable mode of human expression and movement toward the divine, rather than a fixity of nature.

    Is queer theology an impossible project? Queer theology which engages Edelman’s queer negativity oscillates around the negation of theology’s participation in upholding the anti-queerness which is fundamental to our social order. Drawing upon Marcella Althaus-Reid, Lee Edelman, Linn Tonstad, and Kent Brintnall, this essay upholds this as a necessary, but impossible, task for queer theology. Assessing this paradox constructively, I propose that it is impossible for queer theology to be sufficiently negative, due to theologians’ inability to maintain a vantage point outside the social and theological order we critique. This inability is a gift of queer grace. Queer grace orients us to the edge of theology’s capability to where God takes on the imperatives of our negative task, and to where we seek God’s eschatological transformation of ourselves, especially gendered and sexual selfhood.
