"A concise and definitive history of the transition from bisexual paganism to the antigay stance of the Christian church"

From a review by Toby Johnson in White Crane Journal:

"That homosexuality isn't such a new thing is not surprising. But understanding what that means in context often remains elusive. Things were just so different back then.

Geoff Puterbaugh helps make it all make sense. The book is interesting, informative, and readable. And it's a nice addition to the library of books about the historical bases of gay consciousness."
