Scripture, Ethics, and the Possibility of Same-Sex Relationships
by Karen R. Keen
Description
WHEN IT COMES TO SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS, this Book by Karen Keen contains the most thoughtful, balanced, biblically grounded discussion you’re likely to encounter anywhere. With pastoral sensitivity and respect for biblical authority, Keen breaks through current stalemates in the debate surrounding faith and sexual identity.
The fresh, evenhanded reevaluation of Scripture, Christian tradition, theology, and science in Keen’s Scripture, Ethics, and the Possibility of Same-Sex Relationships will appeal to both traditionalist and progressive church leaders and parishioners, students of ethics and biblical studies, and gay and lesbian people who often feel painfully torn between faith and sexuality.This is my review of this book. I really enjoyed it and found much of it very interesting. Reading the different views and ways of dealing with same-sex relationships. At first, I thought it was a book that would deter me from being gay or try to talk me out of it, but as I read, no it actually strengthened my relationship to God and secured my feelings.
I will say this, be prepared to look up words as Karen does use some words that are not every day terminology. I found myself asking google many times what a word meant. I like to think as myself as well educated, but this book tried that.
I personally recommend this book to any one who is trying to come to terms with either their own sexual identity or someone trying to move from traditional teaching that same-sex relations are wrong to accepting and maybe even affirming.
I believe in this book so much that I am writing this while I still have yet one chapter to go. Pick it up today at this link. Enjoy!
