In the debate about homosexuality one thing that seems clear - on
an issue renowned for lack of clarity and controversy - is that two
fundamentally incompatible positions continue to hold tenaciously.
One asserts that homosexual acts are legitimate, the other that
they are not. Concentration on the legitimacy of sexual expression
rather than on underlying needs has made the debate about
homosexuality incapable of resolution. Homosexuality: A New
Christian Ethic presents a psychoanalytic interpretation that has
shifted the focus of the debate from symptoms to root causes. The
crux of Elizabeth Moberly's argument is that 'the homosexual
condition involves legitimate developmental needs, the fulfilment
of which has been blocked by an underlying ambivalence to members
of the same sex'. But while the argument is certainly
controversial, it involves a much-needed restatement of the
traditional Christian distinction between the homosexual condition
and its expression in homosexual activity. Formerly published as a
James Clarke and Co Ltd title.
