The Bible and Same Sex Relations: A Biblical Analysis from an Incarnational Perspective, a 14-page study by Ken Howard, takes a Midrashic approach to the texts commonly used to exclude gay and lesbian people from full participation in the church. The author argues that the burden of proof should be on those who would exclude others rather than on those who seek to be included, that the meaning of these texts are much more ambiguous than commonly assumed, and do not meet the burden of proof.
Price: $2.95 (suggested Retail: $9.95)
