Description



About the Book



A deeply radical attempt to redefine the relationship between basic Christianity and homosexuality.



Book Synopsis



What if Christianity was far more liberating than the culture wars suggest? Can the conflict concerning Christianity and homosexuality be viewed from a more interpretative lens? James Alison, a Catholic priest who is also a gay man, has been wrestling with the matter for over forty years.

This luminous and rigorous book dismantles the fear-based binaries which have dominated conversations in the Church. Striving to address potential concerns about accepting LGBTQ+ individuals within the church, James draws on scripture, tradition and his lived experience to form a broader understanding of faith and humanity.



About the Author



James Alison is a Catholic priest, theologian and author. He has studied, lived and worked in Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Spain and the United States as well as his native England. James earned his doctorate in theology from the Jesuit Faculty in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He is known for his career-long dedication to developing the fecundity for systematic theology of the thought of René Girard and he has developed pastoral encouragement to LGBTQ+ believers seeking to live truthful lives all over the world.
