Synopsis

This study by Janet R. Jakobsen and Ann Pellegrini explores the troubling link between secular institutions and the regulation of sexual life through religion. They examine America's intense focus on sex in the name of values, highlighting the dangers this poses to fundamental freedoms. Through various case studies, the book critiques public discourse on sexuality, particularly homosexuality, and proposes alternatives that emphasize the connection between sexual and religious freedom.
