Science, Scripture, and Homosexuality - Paperback

by Alice Ogden Bellis (Author), Terry L. Hufford (Author)

The collaborative work of a biblical scholar and a biology professor, Science, Scripture, and Homosexuality addresses scripture passages relating to homosexuality and explains the foundation of genetics and the growing evidence suggesting an organic basis for sexual orientation. The authors argue that "the role of the homosexual, as well as the heterosexual, within the Church should be based upon common criteria for all." Written in a highly accessible manner, the book is ideal for congregational discussion.
