Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality by John Boswell
This is a National Book Award-winning study of the history of attitudes toward homosexuality in the early Christian West, which helped form the disciplines of gay and gender studies. The historical breadth of the research (from the Greeks to Aquinas) and the variety of sources consulted make this an extensive treatment of Western social history.
"Truly groundbreaking workBoswell reveals unexplored phenomena with an unfailing erudition." - Michel Foucault "What makes this work so exciting is not simply its content - fascinating though that is - but its revolutionary challenge to some of Western culture's most familiar moral assumptions." - Jean Strouse, Newsweek"
John Boswell (1947-94) was the A. Whitney Griswold Professor of History at Yale University and the author of The Royal Treasure, The Kindness of Strangers, and Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe.
