Light in the Closet: Torah, Homosexuality, & Power to Change

By Arthur Goldberg. This book is a monumental achievement in analyzing the influences of modern Western society. It provides valuable information for people who are struggling to overcome same-sex attraction (SSA). The author discusses case histories, and today’s agenda-driven activism vs. universally-relevant Torah morality. He extensively researched and presents a most appropriate (and greatly needed) Torah-based response to this hot-topic issue.

The book is wide-ranging and addresses 23 categories of “sexual brokenness”. These are behaviors, desires or fantasies that are inconsistent with Torah’s designation of heterosexual marital intercourse as the divine plan. It insists that no one of any age should be denied the right to receive information on, and access to, the known effective means of gender-reaffirming counseling and treatment for sexual disorientation. The author includes discussions of the relevant Torah Laws for both Jews and Gentiles (in light of the Noahide Code). He also indicts the permissive (or even promotive) attitudes about indulgence in homosexual relations in many countries.

The author is a former Executive Secretary of the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity (ATCSI, formerly known as NARTH). ATCSI is an organization that works for the right of all individuals with unwanted SSA to receive effective therapeutic treatment, and for the right of professionals to offer that care. Abundant information, including a list of participating local therapists, is available on their web site: https://www.therapeuticchoice.com
