Fellow 'netters,

   I happened to look at the items on our library's new books shelf this 
morning and I came across this one which, given the recent request for 
information on Islam and homosexuality, I thought I would post. I have not 
yet looked at it with any degree of thoroughness, so I cannot judge its 
contents, its readability, its perspectives, and so on.

   Swidler, Arlene (ed.).
   Homosexuality and World Religions.
   Valley Forge, PA: Trinity Press International, 1993.

   The book includes chapters on the traditional religions of the Americas 
and Africa, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, 
Islam, and Chinese and Japanese religions. The introduction states that, 
whenever possible, any given chapter was written by someone from within 
that faith tradition, so the chapter on Islam was written by a Muslim.
