They come from the pens of Australian biblical scholars within the Anglican communion, who are skilled in both exegesis and hermeneutical theory. Each essay addresses the question of homosexuality in the Bible, looking at passages in the Old Testament and the New Testament which are often used as a basis for rejecting homosexuality in Christian ethics. Each essay argues, on the contrary, that there is no biblical warrant for condemning either a homosexual orientation or a faithful and committed homosexual relationship. The book, as a whole, makes it crystal clear that both sides of the debate take seriously the Bible as the inspired word of God, and both are seeking to discern the Scriptures in order to hear God's voice speaking to us today. 505 0 $a Were the Sodomites really sodomites? : homosexuality in Genesis 19 / Megan Warner -- On 'not putting new wine into old wineskins', or 'taking the Bible fully seriously' : an Anglican reading of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 / Richard Treloar -- Reading Romans as Anglicans : Romans 1:26-27 / Peta Sherlock -- Keeping lists or embracing freedom : 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 in context / Alan Cadwallader -- Rules for holy living : a progressive reading of 1 Timothy 1:8-11 / Gregory C.
