Jesus and the Shamanic Tradition of Same-sex Love

Jesus and the Shamanic Tradition of Same-sex Love

Recipient of the Lambda Literary Award for Religion/Spirituality, Jesus and the Shamanic Tradition of Same-Sex Love is a passionate exploration of the history of Western religion as seen through the queer eye of one of the most widely acclaimed authors in gay spirituality. Drawing on recently discovered ancient sources, Will Roscoe offers a striking new view of Jesus as a charismatic mystic, whose teachings on love and the kingdom of heaven were complemented by a secret rite that served to impart the experience of entering heaven. After meticulously reconstructing this rite, Roscoe seeks its ultimate origins an odyssey that eventually leads him to the margins of the inhabited world, where the ancient practices of shamanism survive to today.
