The conflict between contemporary attitudes and traditional practices has led to major divisions and controversies, particularly when focused on issues such as homosexuality. This is the first attempt to take abroad look at both the Jewish pioneers of modern sexual thought and the impact of the revolution on our understanding of past Jewish practices and culture. For the first time the writings of leading scholars in the field from the United States and the United Kingdom have been brought together to explore these topics, and the book is essential reading for those academically or professionally engaged in areas ranging from counseling and pastoral work, to religious and social studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJonathan Magonet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIn the Tradition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Law and Philosophy: The Case of Sex in the Bible\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTikva Frymer-Kensky\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Sex and Sadism in Hosea\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFrancis Landy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Dialectics of Desire: \"The Evil Instinct is Very Good\"\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDaniel Boyarin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e The Song of Songs: Eros and the Mystical Quest\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSara Sviri\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e The Lust for Asceticism in the Hasidic Movement\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDavid Biale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eHomosexuality and Lesbianism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Some Orthodox Perspectives\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAlan Unterman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e A Strange Conjunction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMark Solomon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e The Jewish Homosexual and the \u003ci\u003eHalakhic\u003c\/i\u003e Tradition\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRodney Mariner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Judaism and Lesbianism: A Tale of Life on the Margins of the Text\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eElizabeth Sarah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e What is Our Love?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSheila Shulman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Godly and Gay\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLionel Blue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eTherapeutic Views on Sexuality\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/b\u003e Freud, Race and Gender \u003ci\u003eSander L.
