Picking up where he left off in Faith Beyond Resentment, Alison, a Catholic priest, continues to expose the subversive potential of the gospel message, especially regarding the situation of gay Christians. In three sets of essays he rejects a patronizing Christian love that does not include liking the persons concerned. In Christ, “we discover ourselves as liked—not only loved—in the eyes of God,” and this unbinds our conscience and frees us to be active participants in God’s remaking of the world.
