HOLINESS AND SEXUALITY
Homosexuality in a biblical context
By David Peterson . Paternoster. 212 pages. £7.99
ISBN 1 84227 269 1

There are so many books available now exploring both theological and personal Christian perspectives on homosexuality that any new addition to the field should offer fresh insights. This one does.

The chapters were all originally papers given at a symposium at Oak Hill in April 2003. The chapters by David Peterson on interpreting the biblical texts and Peter Saunders on the origins of homosexuality are models of lucid, well-referenced synopses of current understanding but all of this or similar material is available elsewhere.
