This book boldly addresses the complex issues posed to individuals and the churches by homosexuality. It is structured in the form of a dialogue between 'liberal' and 'conservative' views around the quadrilateral of Scripture, tradition, reason and experience, where each authority is seen as equal and interrelated. This dialogue is then extended with related considerations focusing on the Trinity, anthropology, ethics, marriage and eschatology.These essays combine careful theologically based argument with professional expertise and personal experience. Each contribution attempts to bring both light and warmth to this deeply personal issue, an issue which, in its conscious challenge to authorities, also provokes major ecclesiological issues for the churches.Contributors: Bryden Black, David M Clarke, Denise Cooper-Clarke, Graham A Cole, Keith Dyer, Brian Edgar, Debra Hirsch, Muriel Porter, Gordon R Preece, Peter Sherlock, Mark Thiessen Nation.
