Sexual Orientation & Human Rights in American Religious Discourse

Rating:
Summary: Prejudice by any other name
Review: Despite the effort at "balance," the book caricatures the position of the world's religions on sexual morality. The crucial difference between sexual orientation and sexual action is destroyed. An anti-religious screed disguised as a prim anthology.

Summary: A Much Needed Survey
Review: This is an excellent and much needed survey of attitudes among various denominations toward homosexuality. As increasing evidence bears out the genetic and biological origin of homosexuality, religious groups are being confronted with interpretational difficulties reminiscent of the old Biblical justifications for slavery, etc. Not all religions are anti-gay, furthermore. This is a bit stilted academic writing, but an important step in a somewhat taboo direction.
