Dawne Moon explores how members of Protestant congregations determine what is just and what is not, what is right and what is wrong, what is loving and what is sinful. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through this compelling work we learn that the considerable turmoil surrounding homosexuality in churches has less to do with homosexuality than with the fear of weakening the church's spiritual, communal solidarity. We learn too how the church mirrors the secular world-the fear of division and politics leads members to avoid conflict in the congregations Moon examines. And so, the Protestants who are the subject of her study avoid debating the key issue of whether homosexuality is sinful because of its potentially polarizing effects. The religious culture Moon uncovers is ultimately critical of politics and of the intense moral and social discord that members believe it entails. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eGod, Sex, and Politics\u003c\/i\u003e will be of enormous value to sociologists of religion and anyone interested in religious controversies over sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawne Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226535126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226535128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.22w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2004 pg. 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLambda Book Report\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 1268","brand":"Dawne Moon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055878861055,"sku":"9780226535128","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a92086a-405a-425a-84d2-713db7e9de59.jpg?v=1685038308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/god-sex-and-politics-dawne-moon-9780226535128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
