Publisher Synopsis
"Recruiting Young Love is quite special. Jordan has once again written a compelling, concise, exciting, and important contribution to the study of sexuality and religion, which will most certainly shape scholarly work and cultural debates for years to come. Jordan confirms his reputation as one of the leading voices in the study of religion and sexuality." -Michael Cobb, author of God Hates Fags: The Rhetorics of Religious Violence Praise for The Silence of Sodom: Homosexuality in Modern Catholicism "If homosexuality is the guest that refuses to leave the table, Jordan has at least shed light on why that is and in the process made the whole issue, including a conflicted Catholic Church, a little more understandable." -Larry B. Stammer, Los Angeles Times" Read more...
