Publisher Synopsis
Timothy Willem Joness patient, smartly researched and entertaining book is a timely and irenic contribution not only to church historiography, but to endless internecine battles in the Church of England. * Rachel Mann, Theology and Sexuality * It tells the story of the background to current Anglican woes like no other. It is a model of high quality and highly accessible scholarship. * Adrian Thatcher, INTAMS * This is an important study, of immediate relevance to the Church of England's continuing free and frank discussions on sexuality, for it reveals a background of theological confusion, fluidity and innovation which most disputants have forgotten. * Diarmaid MacCulloch, Journal of Ecclesiastical History * Sexual Politics is an ambitious and imaginative study. Its historical sweep allows valuable comparisons between periods and its analytic framework connects domains - intimate life, utopian ideas, party politics, law and policy - often kept apart. It will interest a wide variety of historiansBrooke has enriched the field with his innovative argument about the changing terms of the relationship between sexual reform and class politics. * Ian Christopher Fletcher, Journal of British Studies * The historical insights in this volume are essential context for our contemporary debates. They remind us, most of all, of the need always to argue clearly and directly from Scripture, not from the blinkered cultural assumptions of our own generation. * Andrew Atherstone, Churchman * Read more...
