Abstract
In this paper, I will argue that one can affirm both Scriptural accounts of submission
and a feminist ideology that resists oppression by offering a “queer” reading of Christ’s
crucifixion and the events leading up to it. Using methodology made popular by critical
theorist Judith Butler, I hope to construct a different reading of Christian Scripture,
and more specifically, of the Lord’s Supper--
through suggesting that submission can be a form of agency, and volitional suffering
as an act of desire. This, I believe, offers a way of reading the Christian narrative
faithfully while still affirming feminist ideology.
