The Supreme Court of India decriminalized same\-sex relationships in a
landmark ruling in 2018, but there is a long way to go before societal attitudes
change. One hurdle often cited is that religion, which has a pervasive hold on
people\x27s mindsets, is believed to take a conservative view of such matters.
Holy Censorship or Mistranslation? does a close reading of the Bible and its
translations, and shows that negative Christian attitudes to sexuality are not
rooted in the sacred text but in centuries of tradition. Mistranslations into Greek,
Latin and other languages that occurred early, and the serious errors that
continue to be committed by translators today, are also responsible for
misplaced controversies. Combining meticulous scholarship with an accessible
style, this book offers essential learning into a subject that affects millions
today.
