To Melt a Golden Calf: An Evangelical Christian Case for Same-Sex Relationships

For decades now, outspoken evangelical Christians have been at the forefront of resisting the cultural shift towards accepting same-sex relationships. From the church pulpit to the political podium, condemnation of homosexuality has come to define the identity of evangelicalism. But what if it didn't have to be this way? What if same-sex relationships could be affirmed through an authoritative, infallible reading of the Bible? 
From an evangelical missionary who once fought in the culture wars against gay rights only to undergo a reluctant reversal, To Melt a Golden Calf stands out as a concise, biblical, and balanced defense of same-sex relationships. Drawing from bedrock Christian beliefs, Peter Aelred seeks to untangle the complicated questions around homosexuality, not for reasons of cultural accommodation, but for the sake of the Gospel itself.
