- Notes
- "[By] Eric S. MacDonald".
- Includes bibliographical references and index.
- "There is a life and death struggle taking place in the modern church, a struggle between conservatives, on the one hand, who wish to turn the hands of the clock back to more manageable times, and post-historical liberals or radicals, on the other, who wish Christian faith to continue its engagement with the world around them .... This struggle is coming to a focus, in our own time, over the issue of homosexuality and homosexual relations. Taking a recent book by Anglican conservatives ["The Anglican Church and Same Sex Couples"] as a foil, the present volume offers a critique of the conservative Anglican theology of sexualitym and of the presuppositions upon which it rests". -- back cover.
