Overview

In the guise of tolerance, modern culture grants alternative lifestyle status to homosexuality. Even more disturbing, some within the church attempt to revise and distort Christian teaching on this behavior. The authors of The Same Sex Controversy write for all who want to better understand the Bible’s teaching on the subject, explaining and defending the foundational passages that deal with homosexuality, including Genesis, Leviticus, and Romans. Expanding on these Scriptures, they refute the revisionists’ arguments—including the claim that Christians today need not adhere to the Law. In a straightforward and loving manner, they appeal to those living a homosexual lifestyle to repent and return to God’s plan for his people.
