What Does the Bible Really Teach About Homosexuality? by Kevin DeYoung
Is there an argument to be made that since Jesus never mentioned homosexuality that it must somehow be OK, or at least not very important?
Did the New Testament negate Old Testament teaching on homosexuality?
Did the Apostle Paul have an especially egregious form of homosexuality in mind in Romans 1?
Step by step, DeYoung addresses these and other questions about Biblical authority and homosexuality in this book. Writing with a theologian’s mind and a pastor’s heart, DeYoung is both thorough and sensitive in this work.
Spoiler alert: All homosexual behavior, along with all other sexual sin, is condemned by God and worthy of His judgment. Yet, there is good news:
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (ESV)
