Summary:

This book shows, on biblical grounds, that gay/lesbian liberation rightfully belongs to the genre of liberation theology, that the homophobic rejection of gay/lesbian persons by church and synagogue cannot claim biblical sanction, and that a sexual ethic based on agape is accessible to all people of both hetero- and homo-sexual orientation.
