Marion Soards looks at what the Bible actually
says - and does not say - about homosexuality as he attempts to discover
how the church should deal with this divisive issue. Reflecting on the
meaning of the biblical texts and subsequent Christian history, Soards
struggles with the issues of how Christians should respond to and comprehend
God's will in dealing with homosexuality. He ultimately advocates a heightened
sense of both biblical authority and Christian compassion.
Focused and accessible, this book is an ideal starting
point for the discussion of how the church should respond to and deal with
issues of homosexuality.
