Summary: 4 Stars

Horner, Thomas Marland. "Jonathan Loved David: Homosexuality in Biblical Times", Westminster John Knox Press, 1978.

A Biblical Survey

Amos Lassen

"Jonathan Loved David" by Thomas M. Horner is one of the early books dealing with homosexuality in the Bible and it still maintains its place as a good survey of the history of homosexuality in the Holy Books. We learn from Horner that it was the historical background that brought about the early admonitions of same-sex relations. Horner is himself, pro-gay and the book must be read knowing that. Horner presents his facts clearly and without sensationalism. He presents his material sympathetically and the reader feels the amount of thought that the author put into this book.
It is important to remember. However, the book was written in 1978 and a lot has changed since then. Nonetheless this is quite an interesting and scholarly study of homosexuality in Biblical times. I do wish that the study had been more detailed especially when looking at the literary aspects of the Scriptures. What the book does show and what is important is that there were GLBT people in the Biblical era.
