Probing into numerous questions about gender and sexuality, Dale
Martin delves into the biblical texts anew and unearths surprising
findings. Avoiding preconceptions about ancient sexuality, he
explores the ethics of desire and marriage and pays careful
attention to the original meanings of words, especially those used
as evidence of Paul's opposition to homosexuality. For example,
after a remarkably faithful reading of the scriptural texts, Martin
concludes that our contemporary obsession with marriage--and the
whole search for the "right" sexual relationships--is antithetical
to the message of the gospel. In all of these essays, however,
Martin argues for engaging Scripture in a way that goes beyond the
standard historical-critical questions and the assumptions of
textual agency in order to find a faith that has no foundations
other than Jesus Christ.
