Throughout the history of Christianity, lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender ( LGBT or queer ) people have been condemned as
unrepentant sinners who are in dire need of God s saving grace. As
a result of this condemnation, LGBT people have been subjected to
great spiritual, emotional and physical abuse and violence. This
issue has taken on a particular urgency in light of the horrific
string of suicides over the last year of young LGBT people who were
subjected to harassment and bullying by their classmates.
Cheng argues that people need to be liberated from the
traditional legal model of thinking about sin and grace as a
violation of divine and natural laws in which grace is understood
as the strength to refrain from violating such laws. Rather Cheng
proposes a Christological model based upon the theologies of
Irenaeus, Bonaventure and Barth, in which sin and grace are defined
in terms of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.
This book will serve as a useful resource for all people who
struggle to make sense of the traditional Christian doctrines of
sin and grace in the context of the 21st century."
