The author of The Man Jesus Loved: Homoerotic Narratives from the New Testament opens the door to the astonishing diversity of material in the Hebrew Bible that lends itself to homoerotic interpretation. He examines the complex connections between David, Saul and Jonathan, as well presenting Samuel, Saul, Elijah and Elisha as persons whose sacral power is also erotic power. Then he explores the trans-gendering of Israel by several prophets who use this device to explore the adultery and promiscuity that they wish to attribute to Israel, as well as the story of Joseph.
