Misuse of the Bible has made hatred holy. In this provocative book,
Adrian Thatcher argues that debates on sexuality currently raging
through the churches are the latest outbreak in a long line of
savage interpretations of the Bible. This title is a fascinating
reading for anyone concerned about the future of Christianity. It
is a provocative book claiming that debates on sexuality currently
raging through the churches are the latest outbreak in a long line
of savage interpretations of the Bible.It argues that the Bible has
been abused to convert the 'good news' which it brings to the
world, into one which has been used to discriminate against many
groups, including children, women, Jews, people of color, slaves,
heretics, and homosexuals. It asks how Christians have been able to
conduct, in public and on a global scale, an argument that has
exposed so much prejudice, fear and hatred. It offers an
alternative, faithful and peaceable reading of the Bible, drawing
on numerous examples throughout. It breaks new ground in debates
about sexual ethics and biblical interpretation.
