Product Description

Product Description

In the first part of this controversial critique of Christian teachings about sexuality, Alison Webster demonstrates how Christianity has idolized a particular heterosexual idea which has been devised, refined and imposed with scant consideration of the experience, desires or needs of women. Part two gives voice to women who are on the periphery of the Christian community because of their sexuality and/or personal relationships. They reveal the Church's silence about lesbian relationships, the marginalization of single women and the promotion of heterosexuality. Finally, the author reflects upon a common dilemma for Christian feminists and lesbians: "should I stay or should I go?", and suggests creative solutions.

Doesn't do well in covering the topic 24 Sep 2005
By L. Hale - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I had high expectations for this book. Being the nominal sort of Christian, very unhappy non-practicing Roman Catholic, I really wanted to know more. I have read an awesome book called Catholics & Sex by Kate Saunders, Peter Stanford and I like to see stuff. In comparison, wow, I was so not blown away by this book. It doesn't serve my want or need in terms of exploring the roots of anti-woman, anti-lesbian stuff in the Christian church, doesn't offer the historical context I was wanting. It had a lot of personal stories, huge chunks of stories and other writings by women. If it had just stuck with that, included only tales of women feeling marginalized in the Christian faith, I think the book would have been much better.

Found Wanting--This Book 10 Sep 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Shows a hideous lack of real knowledge of what Christians truly believe. If you're going to dispute a teaching, at least get straight what they truly teach! Pass on this one!

Brillant Book! - 22 Mar 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have had personal experiences with the Christian right and sexuality...their view of women and sex is fixed,they won't listen to women,they abuse women verbally if they have had pre-martial sex..no help to be found..they view women as sexless and giving sex to get something in return..women are non sexual beings to them..this book is amasing..everyone should read it...including the far right..because they're far wrong about women!
