George Hobson's essay The Episcopal Church, Homosexuality, and the Context of Technology is as courageous as it is compassionate. The book offers a fresh and constructive contribution that sheds much-needed light on a complex topic without creating undue heat. The analysis of technology as the matrix of modernity is as compelling as is the theological reading of the Scriptures. Hobson's work should elicit much-needed thoughtfulness about the gravity of the matters at stake. --Reinhard Hutter author of Dust Bound for Heaven: Explorations in the Theology of Thomas Aquinas A lucid and searching exposition of the collision between modern philosophy and the theology of the Church which has brought the moral crisis of homosexuality to bear upon the Christian conscience. With economy of language, keen insight, and pace, the author analyzes Western thought since the Enlightenment and relates the current moral confusion in the Church to the 'spectralization' of human beings and the rise of secular technologism as the prevailing thought structure. An exhilarating and thought-provoking read, full of 'Hobson moments' in which an insight or idea is memorably expressed with an apposite turn of phrase. --Kevin Scott author of ReCreatable: How God Heals the Brokenness of Life (forthcoming)
