This book is, among other things, an important historical corrective to the notion that the church is *now* accommodating to culture in becoming of affirmative to non-heterosexual models of relationships. The claim is that the church around 5th-6th century accommodated the cultural tradition of homophobia that emerged in the Hellenistic culture and how the church then used that to read back into the Bible more explicit condemnations of homosexual practices.

Jennings explores the notion that the origin of Western homophobia lies not in the biblical traditions of Judaism and Christianity but instead has its source in the Greek and Hellenistic sources (mainly the platonic philosophies) often assumed to have been accepting of same-sex eroticism. Jennings is aware this concept goes against the grain of common opinion, and therefore provides ample clarification from official statements of the Vatican and opinions of the United States Supreme Court; texts from Plato and other Hellenistic perspectives; and the writings of Paul.
