At the Cross

by Kittredge Cherry

Picking up where JESUS IN LOVE, JESUS IN LOVE: AT THE CROSS continues the story of Jesus' erotic, mystical adventures in first-century Palestine, this time all the way to his untimely death, his miraculous resurrection, and beyond. Jesus has today's queer sensibilities and psychological sophistication as he lives out his mythic story.

a work of art that helps to soothe and heal my queer soul that was hurt by people using religion for hatred

While I enjoyed 'Jesus in Love', I couldn't really get into 'At the Cross'. Perhaps it seemed that it was just going over the same ground. I may try again another time.
