Would Jesus have tolerated homophobia?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A lot of the people who sit in churches and preach from pulpits have forgotten the kind of man Jesus was. The man who loved the prostitutes, healed the sick on the Sabbath, and went on a rampage in the Temple isn't the kind of person who would sit quietly by while gay and lesbian people were beaten and hated. Robert Goss recaptures the essence of Jesus in this book - his love for the downtrodden and the fire for equality that burned within him. Based upon concepts of Liberation Theology, Goss studies the language of hatred, violence against Gay and Lesbian people, coming out, and the blessing of same-sex unions. Interested yet? How about the title of one of the sections: Deconstructing Biblical Terrorism. Or another: The Politics of the Cross. Anyone interested in Liberation Theology, Gay and Lesbian studies, or issues around homophobia will find this book an enlightening experience.
