Description
"Human desire is a path to spiritual wholeness, says author Donald Boisvert, in this evocative look at how saints - and one's devotion to them - can be sites for the confirmation and celebration of homoerotic desire. The author comes to the topic as a gay scholar of religion and draws upon his own experience of saints including his years in seminary beginning at age thirteen. Saints can inspire desire and, through eclectic readings of their lives and imagery, the author suggests meanings and strategies attached to the emergence of same-sex attraction."--BOOK JACKET.
