註釋

"The Rev. Dr. Bailey provides in this book a detached and scholarly examination of homosexuality in its historical and religious contexts. The author begins with a consideration of Sodom -- showing, incidentally, that that city was not specially remarkable for the cult to which it has given its name -- and then goes on to discuss what else there is in the Bible concerning homosexuality. He brings under his cool, searching scrutiny Roman law, medieval canon law, and the actual practice of the medieveal church. He shows the influence of this background in the present attitude of society and in the law as it stands today. Finally he give his own conclusions and recommendations." -- book jacket.
