<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Homosexuality is one of the most hotly debated topics in the evangelical church today. In Two Views on Homosexuality, the Bible, and the Church four contributors, two defending a traditional view and two defending an affirming view, address not only biblical and theological questions, but also the pressing pastoral questions for the church.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>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.</strong></p><p>Few topics are more divisive today than homosexuality. <em>Two Views on Homosexuality, the Bible, and the Church</em> 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.</p><p>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: </p><ul><li>Affirming - represented by William Loader and Megan K. DeFranza</li><li>Traditional - represented by Wesley Hill and Stephen R. Holmes</li></ul><p>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.</p><p>The book concludes with reflections from general editor Preston Sprinkle on the future of discussions on faith and sexuality.</p><p><strong>The <em>Counterpoints</em> 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.</strong></p>
