About the Author

John Boswell (1947–1994) won the 1981 American Book Award for history for his groundbreaking work Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century.

Reviews

"Boswell's book provides us with a whole new [historical] model for adult gay relationships."--Natalie Zemon Davis, Princeton University

"I have the greatest respect for John Boswell as an historian and as a person of integrity, and I feel his work will be of great help to the church in dealing with gay marriages."--Episcopal Bishop Paul Moore of New York

The title sounds weighty, but Yale historian Boswell--author of the ``exceptionally important'' Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality ( LJ 6/1/80)--is on to something that could prove quite sensational. He has discovered the existence of a same-sex nuptial liturgy evidently used by the Church throughout the early Christian era.
