Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex, and Survival
Andrew Sullivan
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1998.
In his compelling essay “If Love Were All,” the third and final chapter of his book Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex, and Survival, the prominent Atlantic Monthly blogger Andrew Sullivan draws on the Gospel of John and a portrait of Jesus’ intimate relationships with his disciples to offer a movingly lyrical account of how gay friendships, especially in the wake of the AIDS epidemic in the United States, model the ideal of Christian love and discipleship.
