After meticulously reconstructing this rite, Roscoe seeks its ultimate origins-an odyssey that eventually leads him to the margins of the inhabited world, where the ancient practices of shamanism survive to today. Drawing on recently discovered ancient sources, Will Roscoe offers a striking new view of Jesus as a charismatic mystic, whose teachings on love and the kingdom of heaven were complemented by a secret rite that served to impart the experience of entering heaven. Jesus and the Shamanic Tradition of Same-Sex Love is a passionate exploration of the history of Western religion as seen through the queer eye of one of the most widely acclaimed authors in gay spirituality.
