Overview

Maurice Shinnick argues that homosexuality should be seen as a gift from God, rather than a curse. He shows how attitudes to homosexuality have developed in different Christian denominations around the world and offers a careful re-reading of Catholic teaching. This Remarkable Gift calls for a genuine dialogue between the Church and gay and lesbian people and offers a guide to the paths such a dialogue could follow.

This Remarkable Gift is a remarkable book. It's rooted in creative dislogue instead of arid debate, impeccably researched, comes from a fresh Australian perspective, and prophetically offers a manifest for a gay and lesbian theology." -- Lambda Book Report
