Homosexuality and Roman Catholic Ethics
Thomas Thurston · 1995
על הספר
In Homosexuality and Roman Catholic Ethics, Thomas Thurston identifies three basic approaches to the issue; traditional, mediating and revisionist, and provides a thorough discussion of the biblical, historical, philosophical and scientific foundations underlying these three currents of thought. Challenging the revisionist tradition's claim that the church has misunderstood its own tradition, and reevaluating the feminist approach, Thurston argues for a reconsideration of the issues in light of contemporary experience. Using Liberation theology as a starting point, he proposes a new approach to sexual ethics based on the three virtues: aphrodisia, agape and philia. . Thomas Thurston's important new work presents a challenging reassessment of homosexuality and gay theology in the Catholic church as well as in the entire Christian community. By offering a complete survey and critique of the various resources used by moral theologians, Thurston argues for a new contemporary ethic informed by faith, acceptance and love.
