Reviews
"I would not hesitate to call his book revolutionary for it tells of things heretofore unimagined and sets a standard of excellence that one would have thought impossible in the treatment of an issue so large, uncharted and vexed. . . . Boswell has mastered one of the rarest skills: the ability to write about sex with genuine wit. Improbably as it might seem, this work of unrelenting scholarship and high intellectual drama is also thoroughly entertaining."-- "New York Times Book Review"
"One day, when all churches accept the presence and achievements of gay people with approbation instead of denial or disapproval, Boswell will in no small way be responsible."-- "Gay & Lesbian Review"
"Truly groundbreaking work. Boswell reveals unexplored phenomena with an unfailing erudition."-- "Michel Foucault"
