This text examines the issue of "sacred eroticism" - the literary or artistic expression of devotional feelings in erotic terms. Rather than dismissing such expression as mere convention, the author take it seriously as a form of erotic discoure that gives voice to desires that, outside the sphere of sacred rapture, would otherwise be deemed taboo. Through a range of works, such as the devotional verse of the metaphysical poets or Andres Serrano's controversial "Piss Christ", the book uncovers the erotic imagery that suffuses religious devotional art and literature, illuminating the ways in which sacred Christian devotion is homoeroticized.
