Brief review of "Welcoming But Not Affirming"

I'm speaking tonight at First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley.  As part of their Summer Institute 2006 they are studying the issue of homosexuality.  This week they are discussing my new book, Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church.  Next week they will discuss Stanley Grenz' book, Welcoming But Not Affirming: An Evangelical Response to Homosexuality.  I wrote a review of Welcoming But Not Affirming which appeared in the November 15, 1999 issue of The Presbyterian Outlook.  For those who are interested, click here for a link to the text of the article (you will then be prompted to either Open the Microsoft Word file or Save it to your computer.  It takes a minute or two to open for some reason.)
