Catalyst: "Religion & Sexuality: Passionate Debates" from Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., edited by C. K. Robertson, 255 pages, paperback, c. 2006, $29.95
[Source: Peter Lang Publishing, Inc.] Issues of religion and sexuality elicit passionate debate, as witnessed in the well-researched, provocative essays contained in this volume. Cutting-edge scholars representing radically different traditions and positions wrestle with controversial and even taboo subjects in modern American culture. Sex, polygamy, homosexuality, and clergy celibacy and boundaries are addressed as the Rev. Dr. C. K. Robertson, Canon to the Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church, facilitates a lively conversation that will be of interest to students of religion and popular culture or anyone wishing to explore what is on- and off-limits in today's increasingly pluralistic, yet strongly spiritual, society.
"This is a collection of intellectually stimulating and at times provocative essays emerging from a wide spectrum of voices. The reader will encounter fresh thinking as well as new interpretations of older approaches. Religion and Sexuality is a fine contribution to the conversation and worthy of wide readership." -- The Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, Episcopal Bishop of Atlanta, and author of This Far by Grace: A Bishop's Journey Through Questions of Homosexuality
