The Episcopal Church, Homosexuality, and the Context of Technology

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A lucid and searching exposition of the collision between modern philosophy and the theology of the Church which has brought the moral crisis of homosexuality to bear upon the Christian conscience. With economy of language, keen insight, and pace, the author analyzes Western thought since the Enlightenment and relates the current moral confusion in the Church to the 'spectralization' of human beings and the rise of secular technologism as the prevailing thought structure. An exhilarating and thought-provoking read, full of 'Hobson moments' in which an insight or idea is memorably expressed with an apposite turn of phrase.”
