Notes:

  • Includes bibliographical references (p. 281-286) and indexes.
  • Why another book on same-sex relationships? — Recovering a broad, cross-cultural vision for the center of Christian sexual ethics — Exploring the boundary language of Romans 1:24-27 — Conclusions.
  • Brownson argues that Christians should reconsider whether or not the biblical strictures against same-sex relations as defined in the ancient world should apply to contemporary, committed same-sex relationships. He carefully analyzes each of the seven main texts that appear to address intimate same-sex relations, and in the process explores key concepts that inform our understanding of the texts, including patriarchy, complementarity, purity and impurity, honor and shame.
