Publisher's Synopsis
The original version of this book's title asked: Will The Gay Issue Go Away? This revised version suggests that the issue clearly is beginning to go away-and that the lives of gay folks should never have been reduced to a mere "issue" in the first place. Carl Jech describes the developing new consensus that sexual orientation in itself is morally neutral. Each chapter asks a question that takes seriously the concerns of those who have ethical and religious objections to homosexuality. Is the biblical worldview exclusively heterosexual? If society approves of homosexuality must it also affirm all forms of unconventional sexuality? Can we hate the sin but love the sinner? Is the Bible absolutely anti-gay or does it contain themes that support sexual minorities? Any gay person with Bible-believing family and friends should be sure to get this book into their hands. Author Jech makes a compelling case that anyone who has not read this book-or one similar to it-cannot expect to have much credibility on the subject of homosexuality, sexual orientation, sexual minorities, and the Bible.
