Heterosexism

"Its basic points are strong and clear: That heterosexism is a sin, and its arguments arise from that clear statement. That, rather than focusing on 'accepting' homosexuality, it considers homosexuality a given and focuses on the problem of heterosexism. It is closely argued and holds up well." — Anne Barstow, SUNY at Old Westbury

"This book is a critical contribution in both theological-ethical analysis and moral advocacy on an issue that is of enormous importance today. It is currently the most difficult and divisive issue for Christian churches, and literature such as this is desperately needed to bring more clarity, consistency, and adequacy to our dealing with it." — James B. Nelson, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities

"This book is unique in presenting a substantial, well thought-out position that not only critiques the 'heterosexist' bias of 'Western cultures,' but goes on to offer a positive alternative for Christians seeking to assess their traditions. It addresses a culturally pluralistic situation with a powerful hermeneutic that both explores normative issues and allows for a genuine pluralism." — Robert M. Garvin, State University of New York at Albany
