Synopsis
In this startling original work of historical detection, Mark D. Jordan explores the invention of Sodomy by medieval Christendom, examining its conceptual foundations in theology and gauging its impact on Christian sexual ethics both then and now. This book is for everyone involved in the ongoing debate within organized religions and society in general over moral judgments of same-sex eroticism. "A crucial contribution to our understanding of the tortured and tortuous relationship between men who love men, and the Christian religion--indeed, between our kind and Western society as a whole. . . . The true power of Jordan's study is that it gives back to gay and lesbian people our place in history and that it places before modern theologians and church leaders a detailed history of fear, inconsistency, hatred and oppression that must be faced both intellectually and pastorally."--Michael B. Kelly, Screaming Hyena " A] detailed and disturbing tour through the back roads of medieval Christian thought."--Dennis O'Brien, Commonweal "Being gay and being Catholic are not necessarily incompatible modes of life, Jordan argues. . . . Compelling and deeply learned."-- Virginia Quarterly Review, In this startling original work of historical detection, Mark D.

    Shipping was fast as was its arrival. Seller packaged item neatly and securely. Item as described by seller as acceptable, I would describe as great. Pleasantly surprised by that. Superb price. Seller was kind enough to offer a discount. Highly recommended.

    I did not experience any problem with this seller. However, the book jacket was in poor condition (which was clearly shown in the photos), so it would have been nice if the price had been adjusted accordingly. An overall positive experience, as I am thoroughly enjoying the book. The shipping cost was outstanding! Thank you.
