Acts of Faith Acts of Love

In <i>Acts of Faith Acts of Love</i> McGinely explores the overlap of religious and sexual identities in the stories gay men write about themselves. The autobiographical writings of forty gay Catholics (or once Catholics) are analysed. <br/>The work is both literary and theological on the premise that experience constitutes one of the four sources of theological reflection along with scripture tradition and reason.<br/><br/><br/>'An important contribution to the ongoing discussion of homosexuality and religion... resounds with the authenticity and integrity of personal narrative and academic critique. Highly recommended.' <i>Library Journal</i> <br/><br/><br/>'McGinley has done a great service... funny... heartbreaking' <i>Human Development</i>
