Jesus Had a Boyfriend: A Queer Perspective on Christ and His Disciple
What if the most radical love story in the Gospels has been hiding in plain sight? Jesus Had a Boyfriend is a bold, theologically rich exploration of the intimate bond between Jesus and the beloved discipleoffering a queer lens through which to reimagine one of Christianity's most mysterious relationships. Drawing from queer theology, historical-critical scholarship, and embodied spiritual insight, this book challenges the sanitized, heteronormative portrayals of Christ and dares to ask: what if divine love was never meant to be confined to tradition?
This is not an attempt to sensationalize, but to sanctify. The Gospel of John tells us that "the disciple whom Jesus loved" reclined on his chest during the Last Supper and remained with him until the very end. Who was this beloved? And what does it mean that this unnamed disciple becomes the lens through which Christ's most intimate moments are recorded? Rather than dismissing this bond as platonic or symbolic, Jesus Had a Boyfriend considers what becomes possiblespiritually, theologically, and culturallywhen we allow queerness to speak through scripture.
In doing so, the book offers more than speculationit offers liberation. For queer people who have long been excluded from the sacred story, this work restores what has been erased. It invites readers into a deeper mystery: that love, in its most divine form, has always included us. Christ's love for the beloved disciple is not an anomaly; it is a mirror for queer desire, fidelity, and sacred intimacy.
Blending academic depth with spiritual fire, this book affirms that reclaiming Jesus as a figure of queer love is not revisionistit is resurrection. Whether you are a believer, a seeker, or a skeptic, Jesus Had a Boyfriend will provoke, comfort, and awaken a new vision of the gospel: one where the divine is not only lovebut beloved.
