Why is Christianity so stubborn in its rejection of same-sex sexuality? The Bible does not give an unequivocal answer to this question. The key to the explanation is to be found rather in the apocryphal and Jewish-Hellenistic writings surrounding the New Testament. In an anamnesis of the history of Judaism and Christianity inspired by Queer Theory, the author interprets the condemnation of same-sex sexuality as a symptom of a fundamental disease in Christianity. This takes up a central position in the imagery of the system of Christian symbolism - without Sodom there would be no Gospel.
