Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Whose Truth? Whose Power?

Sexuality and Gender: Returning to the Sources

One is tempted to add that in the current cultural climate, with so much errant nonsense being written about sexuality and gender, that his book should be required reading for any wanting to opine on the topic.
