Holy Homosex?: This & That

The move to reopen what was until about forty years ago a closed question, whether same-sex physical relations, sometimes loosely termed homosexuality, are good, beautiful and acceptable to God, caught both scholars and Christian people in general more or less completely off-guard. I am both a scholar and a Christian; these collected papers represent some of my contribution to modern discussion. I publish them in the hope that others may be blessed by my work, and may be enabled to think and act more consistently for Our Lord in the modern world. It is an honour to be able to include the text of J.I. Packer's 1998 Open Letter originally co-signed by him, Donald M. Lewis and me. In some few copies of the first printing on p. 78 l. 2 I regret that I have let pass "Ruthless" for "ruthless". I have permitted a Kindle edition to go forward, in spite of the fact that in it all the Classical Hebrew lexemes appear reversed from right to left, and in places the Greek text is imperfectly displayed.
