Why Homosexuality Is Not Just an Issue

Synopsis

Christians who are confused by the homosexuality debate raging in the U.S. are looking for resources that are based solidly on a deep study of what Scripture says about the issue. In People to Be Loved, Preston Sprinkle challenges those on all sides of the debate to consider what the Bible says and how we should approach the topic of homosexuality in light of it.

In a manner that appeals to a scholarly and lay-audience alike, Preston takes on difficult questions such as how should the church treat people struggling with same-sex attraction? Is same-sex attraction a product of biological or societal factors or both? How should the church think about larger cultural issues, such as gay marriage and gay pride? How (or if) Christians should do business with LGBT persons and supportive companies?

Simply saying that the Bible condemns homosexuality is not accurate, nor is it enough to end the debate. Those holding a traditional view still struggle to reconcile the Bible's prohibition of same-sex attraction with the message of radical, unconditional grace. This book meets that need.

Goodreads review by Kristel

Preston takes the reader on a journey. It’s clear he takes scripture seriously and it’s also clear he loves people.

Goodreads review by Peter

Sprinkle is one of those folks who thinks himself conservative, but is really a half step away from being a full-blown liberal. This mindset skews his entire approach. He thinks he is holding the line. The reality he is part of a rear-guard action that has retreated into the keep in hopes that the e......more

Awesome book. Posture taken by Sprinkle couldn't be better. Learned a ton on the topic and learned how to think about "people". Leave conservative propaganda at the door.......more

Goodreads review by Adam

Short Review: While I don't think it is perfect, I do think People to be Loved is the best presentation of the traditional position on homosexuality. Sprinkle sets up the book as being about people more than theory, we care about this issue because we care about real live people that are gay. The bu......more
