Establishing a link between theology, sex roles and the issue of masculinity, this book scrutinizes the origins of the religious attitudes towards gay sex, whether forbidden, tolerated or mandatory. While most readers are familiar with the traditional Islamic, Christian and Hebrew prohibitions against sex between two males, this book also reveals other historical religions from around the world which neither opposed nor condemned homosexuality. Other areas covered include: The Taoists of Ancient China; Plato and the later Stoics; Islamic Sufism; Native American culture; Early Christianity; Buddhism; Men, Homosexuality, And The Gods is an enlightening book that honours homosexual claims to moral integrity and appreciates religion without rancour. Easy to read and free of technical language this is a must for anyone who has an academic, professional or personal interest in theology and homosexuality.
