Religion, Flesh, and Blood: The Convergence of HIV/AIDS, Black Sexual Expression, and Therapeutic Religion

By Pamela Leong

This book presents a portrait of a congregation that blends therapy and religion, producing a "therapeutic religion" in which the role and meaning of religion are open to interpretation, religious identities are shaped by life experiences, and healing of the person is underscored. The book also highlights some of the tensions this produces.
