Homoeroticism in the biblical world

In this book, the author surveys attitudes in the ancient Mediterranean world toward homoeroticism, that is, same-sex erotic relationships. Analyzing documents from Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, Rome, rabbinic Judaism, and the earliest churches, he concisely introduces the relevant sources and their historical contexts in a readable way.

First sentence: Throughout human history, as both historical and anthropological sources reveal, different cultures have known same-sex erotic-sexual interaction.
