Original black paper boards backed in red cloth. No writing or damage. As an outsider, this was my first exposure to the hornet's nest created by publication in 1977 of Human Sexuality: New Directions in American Catholic Thought (Paulist Press). The present volume is an acceptance of the invitation to "serious criticism" and "scholarly dialogue" extended in the earlier book. "The task of the contributors to the present volume is to argue the views advanced in Human Sexuality in a way that critics to date have not done." - Introduction. 249 pp. View More...
Original brown cloth with black lettering on boards. No date or further publication information. Reverend Dunlop served at Charlotte Street Baptist in Saint John in 1928. Newspaper clipping laid in.

Original dark blue cloth lettered in gold on boards. Previous owner's name. My first impression of the book was that the main character, Diana, is too fond of her brother of 14, who is near her own age. They seem to like the same things, and have a plan to make a secret hideout on a nearby island. The author of the only review of this book I could find mockingly agrees that it is indeed a tale - only a tale, and seems to find no redeeming qualities in it. I find the choice of words more than quaint, even hoity-toity, and regard the text itself as generally off-putting, to use a fine phrase... View More...

In this case it is the apparent trend to more liberal politics among Anglican members. 179 pp. View More...
