In this carefully reasoned and thoroughly researched analysis, Grenz asks: Are same-sex relationships a viable, God-given way of giving expression to our sexuality? He reviews scientific research, the history of Christian teaching on homosexuality, the issue of biblical authority today, and the practical issues the church now faces, such as the blessing of same-sex unions, the ordination of homosexuals, and the church's public stance on gay right issues. Ultimately he proposes that it is possible for Christian communities to welcome homosexuals without affirming same-sex unions.
