Theology for the Unwanted: Reclaiming Your Place in God's Church - Paperback

by Daniel C. Tillson (Author)

Theology for the Unwanted is a bold, compassionate, and faithful exploration of what it means to belong to the Catholic Church-especially when you've been made to feel like you don't. Drawing on the depth of Catholic theology, scripture, and lived experience, Daniel C. Tillson speaks directly to those who have felt pushed to the margins: LGBTQ Catholics, divorced and remarried individuals, single adults, and others who wonder if there is still room for them in the pews. His answer is clear and heartfelt: Yes, there is.

Writing with pastoral warmth and theological clarity, Tillson shows how Catholic teaching can-and must-engage with the complexity of modern life while remaining rooted in truth. He brings the reader into conversation with scripture, natural law, and contemporary moral theology, illuminating how the Church has developed over time and how it continues to grow. Without campaigning for doctrinal change, this book opens space for discernment, healing, and authentic spiritual maturity-encouraging each person to live fully into the dignity with which God created them.
