The New Testament and Homosexuality: Contextual Background for Contemporary Debate

Just what is a proper use of the Bible, especially the New Testament, in Christian debates about acceptance of homosexuals? In addition to bringing clarity and honesty to issues of the relevance of the Bible, this work brings a little more light and a little less heat to the discussion, a little more acceptance of all persons on the "other side," and maybe even an awareness that in Christ there is really no "other side" at all.

Endorsements

"This solid study constitutes the best resource book available on the question of what the New Testament does or does not say about homosexuality."
– The Other Side

"Here is a book on a highly controversial topic by a first-rate biblical scholar. This provocative volume deserves careful study ... must reading for anyone struggling to hold a position on homosexuality that is grounded in the New Testament."
– Military Chaplain's Review

"The New Testament and Homosexuality makes a valuable contribution to the current debate within the Christian tradition about homosexuality. It seems to me that all those church leaders and committees who are deciding how to deal with homosexuality and whether or not to ordain gay people ought to study this book carefully before making their decisions or recommendations. It just may well be that the Bible does not speak as unequivocally against homosexuality as many church leaders seem to think."
– Roger E. Timm, Dialog
