Father McNeill's outstanding work, which convincingly establishes that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality, has brought comfort to thousands of gay and lesbian Christians since its original publication in 1976. In this fourth edition, the author calls on the Vatican to make a public act of repentance for its homophobia. "Blessed be that John McNeill's courageous classic is available again".-Carter Heyward, Episcopal Divinity School | The Church and the Homosexual by John J. McNeill, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
