The Covenant Network has just released Frequently Asked Questions about Sexuality, the Bible and the Church: Plain Talk about Tough Issues.
I was honored to contribute an essay to this collection. I also find it makes a nice companion to my new book, Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sexuality, the Bible and the Church: Plain Talk about Tough Issues is a remarkable collection of essays by twenty-six scholars from nineteen seminaries and colleges regarding the Bible and the role of gay and lesbian Presbyterians in church life and leadership. Intended for lay readers, the essays address core biblical and theological questions with clear thinking, lively faith, and deep concern for the church...
Freda Gardner, Professor Emerita of Christian Education, Princeton Theological Seminary and Moderator of the 211th GA has this to say, "Brief, but substantive, thought-provoking and illuminating, evident scholarship and compassion for those trying to find their way through a significant issue before our church. A gift for those who will receive it."
