About this ebook
Now in this thirty-fifth anniversary edition with a new foreword by leading queer and religious studies scholar Mark D. Jordan, Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality is still fiercely relevant. This landmark book helped form the disciplines of gay and gender studies, and it continues to illuminate the origins and operations of intolerance as a social force.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting historical analysis claiming that recent religious intolerant attitudes towards homosexuality are only a recent invention and that the prevailing attitude, even among the early Catholic church itself, was one of tacit tolerance, following with Roman attitudes of the time.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Impressive and comprehensive. Perhaps a little weak in terms of biblical interpretation - but the history is fascinating and compelling.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Impressive scholarship and depth of erudition. Highly commended to those Evangelicals who believe liberal scholarship lacks intellectual rigour.
