Grenz, Stanley J. 1950-2005.
Welcoming but not affirming an evangelical response to homosexuality / Stanley J. Grenz. - 1st ed. - Louisville, Ky. : Westminster John Knox Press, �1998. - xii, 210 pages ; 22 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-201) and indexes.
Introduction: Homosexuality and Christian Sexual Ethics -- Homosexuality in Contemporary Perspective -- The Bible and Homosexuality: The Exegetical Debate -- Homosexuality and Church Teaching -- Homosexuality and Biblical Authority -- Homosexuality and the Christian Sex Ethic -- Homosexuality and the Church -- Epilogue: The Welcoming but Not Affirming Community. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
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 blessing of same-sex unions, the ordination of homosexuals, and the church's public stance on gay rights issues. Ultimately he proposes that it is possible for Christian communities to welcome homosexuals without affirming same-sex unions.
