The story of David and Jonathan offers a new paradigm that will reshape the society in which we live ..

The failure of our culture to recognize the intrinsic divinity of all sexual minorities and the sanctity of same-sex, same-gender relationships is the central dilemma challenging lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered persons.  Our society's civil morality is informed by the religious mores of our culture.  A redefined cultural and societal understanding of same-sex, same-gender love derived from and supported by the Bible -- a widespread knowledge of the holy union of David and Jonathan -- will have a profound impact on the long-term success of our justice movement.

A bold, new look at the same-sex love relationship between David and Jonathan in 1 and 2 Samuel, Lord Given Lovers provides an in-depth exploration of their committed partnership. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) readers will discover a story that will help them find self-acceptance and constructively challenge the prejudice of religious homophobes: God sanctifies same-sex and same-gender relationships through The Holy Union of David and Jonathan .

Lord Given Lovers is an academic and inspirational resource for LGBT and LGBT-friendly clergy and laypersons of all faiths and religious backgrounds - as well as for nonreligious LGBT persons and activists interested in subjects that pertain to equal civil marriage rights. Published in October, 2003, the book retails for $12.95 at www.BarnesandNoble.com, www.Amazon.com, and www.iUniverse.com
