How prevalent is homosexuality? What causes it? Is it a
psychopathology? Can it be changed? Questions like these often
accompany discussions of homosexual behavior. For answers we
naturally look to scientific studies. But what does the scientific
research actually show? More important, what place should this
research have in shaping the church's response? Stanton Jones and
Mark Yarhouse help us face these issues squarely and honestly. In
four central chapters they examine how scientific research has been
used within church debates--in particular within Methodist,
Presbyterian and Episcopal contexts. They then survey the most
recent and best scientific research and sort out what it actually
shows. Next they help us to interpret the research's relevance to
the moral debate within the church. In a concluding chapter they
make a strong case for a traditional Christian sexual ethic. Church
groups considering these complex issues will find helpful
discussion questions at the end of each chapter. This book is
essential reading for anyone involved in the church's debate over
homosexual behavior.
