Jordan, Mark D.
The Invention of Sodomy in Christian Theology
University of Chicago Press, 1998
200 pages
Catholic, History, Theology, Homosexuality, Gay Male
Recommended and widely commended, but academic and not easy to read.
"In this reexamination of what it means to have a tradition, Catholic and otherwise, Mark D. Jordan offers a powerful and provocative study of the sin of erotic love between men. The Invention of Sodomy reveals the theological fabrication of arguments for categorizing genital acts between members of the same sex." |
