Reviews

'Mark Vasey-Saunders provides a compelling analysis of evangelicals' tendency to a cycle of contagious violence and scapegoating, exemplified in traditional attitudes to gays and lesbians. And yet he argues for the possibility of a profound reconstruction of the tradition, freed from sacred violence. In the Academy, the Church and among those alienated from the Church, this is a book that deserves careful reading.' Rob Warner, University of Chester, UK
