About
Whether your body is small or large, aged or young, disabled or abled, toned or soft, lithe or stiff-or somewhere in-between-anti-fatness affects us all, because it is intended to. Fat Church critiques anti-fat prejudice and the Church's historic participation in it, calling for a fatphobic reckoning for the sake of God's gospel of freedom.
Pastor and theological educator Anastasia Kidd reviews the history of diet culture, fat studies, beauty, body policing-and the white supremacist machinations underpinning them-in order to work for a society rooted in body liberation for all. Fat Church offers a disruption to social habits of shame and remembers the theology of abundance that calls us all beloved by God.
