Few issues today cause more public - and private - debate than the
interaction of homosexuality and religion. From the question of gay
marriage to the place of gays and lesbians within faith
communities, religious leaders and lay members must deal with these
issues for now and for years to come. What is the historical
position of the major denominations? How are people of faith
balancing their beliefs? This encyclopedia provides an overview of
the various attitudes and responses that religions have had to the
presence of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons
within their communities. This is the most comprehensive volume to
date on the intersections between religion and homosexuality. The
coverage in Homosexuality and Religion: An Encylopedia is
comprehensive: Synthetic overview essays examine topics such as
"Homosexuality, Religion, and the Law," "Homosexuality, Religion,
and the Biological Sciences," and "Homosexuality, Religion, and the
Social Sciences." The A-Z entries cover a wide range of religious
traditions across the world. From "African American Churches" to
"Buddhism," "Episcopalians," "Hinduism," "Islam," "Judaism," "the
Metropolitan Community Church," "Mormonism," "Presbyterians," "the
Roman Catholic Church," "Seventh Day Adventists," "Southern Baptist
Churches," "Unitarian Universalist," and more. Entries contain
significant bibliographic references, including websites, for
further study Homosexuality and Religion treats the complete
cross-section of religious traditions and their understanding of
and approaches to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered
persons.
