Bible, gender, sexuality [electronic resource] : reframing the church's debate on same-sex relationships / James V. Brownson. Grand Rapids, Mich. : W.B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., 2013. 1 online resource (xi, 300 p.) Includes bibliographical references and indexes. 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. 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.
