At times it seems a bit gossip-ridden in nature, using apocryphal references and materials to their fullest; but its matter-of-fact style makes a rather complex textual analysis appear easy to the reader. It is a good positive affirmation of man as a sexual being and God&#8217;s will in all aspects of life.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the eroticization of Jesus goes beyond Schonfield and Kazantazkis and will be considered blasphemous by fundamentalists and conservatives, but his conclusions about sex and its relationship to man and God are worth considering.<\/p>\n<p>A good advanced reader for those who have already done previous studying and reading in theology\u00a0and the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by <strong>Charles Whitlow<\/strong><br \/>\nAT&amp;T Tax Libraries<br \/>\nMorristown, New Jersey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GLBTRT has been reviewing books and movies in its newsletter since the early 1990s.
