Unique among most debates on homosexuality, this book presents a
constructive dialogue between people who disagree on significant
ethical and theological matters, and yet maintain a respectful and
humanizing posture toward one another. Few topics are more divisive
today than homosexuality. Two Views on Homosexuality, the Bible,
and the Church brings a fresh perspective to a well-worn debate.
While Christian debates about homosexuality are most often
dominated by biblical exegesis, this book seeks to give much-needed
attention to the rich history of received Christian tradition,
bringing the Bible into conversation with historical and systematic
theology. To that end, both theologians and biblical scholars--well
accomplished in their fields and conversant in issues of sexuality
and gender--articulate and defend each of the two views: Affirming
- represented by William Loader and Megan K. DeFranza Traditional -
represented by Wesley Hill and Stephen R. Holmes The main essays
are followed by insightful responses that interact with their
fellow essayists with civility. Holding to a high view of
Scripture, a commitment to the gospel and the church, and a love
for people--especially those most affected by this topic--the
contributors wrestle deeply with the Bible and theology, especially
the prohibition texts, the role of procreation, gender
complementarity, and pastoral accommodation. The book concludes
with reflections from general editor Preston Sprinkle on the future
of discussions on faith and sexuality. The Counterpoints series
presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics
important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of
the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows
readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and
form their own, educated opinion.
