Holiness & Sexuality

Plot

The authors of this book sensitively navigate between an unloving rejection of homosexual people and an uncritical acceptance of homosexual behavior. Holiness and Sexuality brings together contributions from a biblical scholar, a theologian and a physician, as well as a homosexual Christian who is single, celibate and director of a dynamic ministry to those struggling with homosexuality. David Peterson clearly presents God's purpose for sexuality and holiness, which sets the backdrop for David Field's searching and challenging analysis of sin. Martin Hallett fleshes out this biblical theology with his own story while Peter Saunders clearly presents the medical implications of homosexuality, challenging classic fears that medical evidence might somehow prove God and his word wrong. Radical and yet compassionate, Holiness and Sexuality asserts the freedom that we have in God's sovereignty and grace to encourage one another towards holiness, regardless of our sexual orientation or our sin forgiven in Christ.
