Reviews
This literate and engaged edited volume brings into dialogue perspectives on sexual orientation and public policy within Judaism, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism in America, as well as within African American religious traditions....It is one of the better books of its genre and worth reading and assigning to students. --Religious Studies Review This remarkable collection of essays serves up a generous feast of reflection about homosexuality in American culture. Within the collection one can get a significant introduction to religious thought on the subject, an intriguing sampling of approaches to theological ethics, a smattering of political positions concerning sexual issues, a heaping portion of legal theory, and even some insightful cultural criticism on the side. --Journal of Religion
