Scroggs, Robin.
The New Testament and homosexuality : contextual background for contemporary debate / Robin Scroggs. - Philadelphia : Fortress Press, �1983. - viii, 158 pages ; 22 cm
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
1. The Use of the Bible in Recent Church Discussions About Homosexuality -- 2. The Cultural Background: A Male Society with an Ideal of Male Beauty -- 3. Pederastic Practices -- 4. The Great Debate -- 5. Palestinian Judaism: Stern Opposition -- 6. Hellenistic Judaism: Pederasty Vilified -- 7. The Early Church: Echoes of a Tradition -- 8. Taking a Stand -- Appendix A -- On the Question of Nonpederastic Male Homosexuality -- Appendix B -- Female Homosexuality in the Greco-Romand World -- Appendix C -- Some Psychological Reflections.
Just what is a proper use of the Bible, especially the New Testament, in Christian debates about acceptance of homosexuals? In addition to bringing clarity and honesty to issues of the relevance of the Bible, this work brings a little more light and a little less heat to the discussion, a little more acceptance of all persons on the "other side," and maybe even an awareness that in Christ there is really no "other side" at all.
