Críticas:

"This is an intriguing and thought-provoking read. It is not just about the challenges of AIDS. It is a compelling look at human sexuality and religious opinion...Christians and Sexuality in the Time of AIDS opens the door to a deeper understanding of the suffering and the need for dialogue and support as Christians live with and respond to this devastating pandemic. This volume is appropriate for congregational and academic libraries." - Sharon Hinton, Congregational Libraries Today, November/December 2008 Mentioned in author's column in The Tablet, 2008. mention in Bookseller Buyers Guide, 1 January 2008

Reseña del editor:

When AIDS was first identified, Christians were thrown into a state of shock. No more nor less than the rest of the human race. The Christian right immediately declared that this was a punishment from God on promiscuous gays. But HIV and AIDS also spread amongst the heterosexual community and worked its devastating way through the African continent. HIV/AIDS now also poses a huge challenge to India, which has more than five million people living with HIV/AIDS, the second largest after South Africa.And yet The Vatican still condemns the use of contraceptives in any circumstances. Here a group of progressive Christians face the fundamental issues full on. From the start The Dominican Order made the care of AIDS sufferers a primary concern. This book was inspired by them and their former Master Timothy Radcliffe is a major contributor and inspiration in this book. The concern is to dig down to deeper issues of theology, sexuality and Christian ethics.
