Brilliant Review in Theology Today

The current issue of Theology Today (Vol. 63, No. 3, October 2006) contains a review of my book Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality: Explode the Myths, Heal the Church and a review of The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics by Robert Gagnon.  The review was written by Princeton Theological Seminary professor, William Stacy Johnson, who is also an ordained minister and an attorney.  Dr. Johnson is one of the finest scholars in the church today and he brings an astonishing clarity to complex issues.  From the review:

Instead, there are many homosexualities, which differ profoundly according to time, place, social condition, and culture.  Classifying this conduct enables us more clearly to perceive why Rogers is right and Gagnon is wrong...."
