The Man Jesus Loved: Homoerotic Narratives from the New Testament

Homosexuality has been at the forefront of debate in the church for the last quarter century, with biblical interpretation at its heart. In The Man Jesus Loved, Jennings proposes a gay affirmative reading of the Bible in the hope of respecting the integrity of these texts and making them more clear as well as more persuasive. This reading suggests that the exclusion of persons on the basis of their sexual orientation or same-sex practices fundamentally distorts the Bible generally and the traditions concerning Jesus in particular.
