Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance
Janet R. Jakobsen, Ann Pellegrini
Beacon Press, Apr 15, 2004 -
192 pages
In
this revolutionary new book, scholars Janet R. Jakobsen and Ann
Pellegrini confront the issue of sexual regulation head-on by supporting
the idea of having sexual freedom just as we have religious freedom in
this country. In their carefully constructed argument, they fight the
idea of loving the sinner but hating the sin, suggesting we should, in
the case of sex, love the sin. Turning from sex to religion, the authors
question why in the United States the principle of religious freedom is
so rarely realized in practice. They end by providing a new way of
considering freedom for both sexuality and religion, after laying out
precisely how the two are intertwined.
