Book Reviews of The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics

Book Review: Excellent in-depth study!
Summary: 5 Stars

Gagnon has produced the type of book this topic deserves. So much is written about this topic that is biased by an a priori positive or negative attitude towards homosexuality, that it is refreshing to see a really thorough study of the topic at hand. Gagnon is clear about his opinions, no doubt about that, but these are well separated from his exposition of the texts. It is the well-balanced nature of his arguments, the thoroughness of the exegesis and the completeness of his discussion that have set the standards of discussing "What does the Bible say about homosexuality?".

Summary of The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics

Gagnon offers the most thorough analysis to date of the biblical texts relating to homosexuality. His strong and clearly articulated argument establishes that the Bible contains a unanimous witness defining same-sex intercourse as sin. He does so while rigorously engaging biblical scholars and historians who have written both for and against this understanding of same-sex intercourse. In addition, he demonstrates systematically why attempts to classify as irrelevant for our contemporary context the Bible's rejection of same-sex intercourse fail to do justice to the biblical texts. His conclusions are clear and compassionate, as he cautions readers on all sides of the debate against a truncated gospel, and challenges all to strive for a holistic view of the command to love God and neighbor.
