Opis

Were David and Jonathan 'gay' lovers? This very modern question lies behind the recent explosion of studies of the David and Jonathan narrative

Recenzje

'His discussion spans not just the work of his colleagues in biblical studies, but also work in the classics, in English literature, in queer theory, and in the history of sexuality, as well as delving into contemporary film and television... A very impressive book, noteworthy especially because of the compelling nature of its thesis and the author's extensive research.' --The Bible and Critical Theory
