Welcoming but Not Affirming: An Evangelical Response to Homosexuality
by Stanley J. Grenz
On This Page
Description
In this carefully reasoned and thoroughly researched analysis, Stanley Grenz asks: are same-sex relationships a viable, God-given way of giving expression to our sexuality? He reviews scientific research, the history of Christian teaching on homosexuality, the issue of biblical authority today, and the practical issues the church now faces, such as the blessing of same-sex unions, the ordination of homosexuals, and the church's public stance on gay rights issues. Ultimately he proposes that show more it is possible for Christian communities to welcome homosexuals without affirming same-sex unions. show lessTags

What is sad is that this is the best conservative evangelicals can do to limit their overt descrimination. Nevertheless, it is very thoughtful and worth a read.
