Homosexuality and the Church Defining issue or Distracting Battle

""Homosexuality ... Is it a defining issue or a distracting battle? Is it a core issue of Christian belief? A matter of doctrinal fidelity? Or is homosexuality essentially a question of human rights-the current hotspot in the long battle that progressively has given freedom to slaves and worked for equality for women and other victims of discrimination? This is a tough issue. Biblical Christians affirm the equality of all humans created in God's image. We should work to end oppression and injustice; we should help everyone enjoy the full freedom of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What, then, about homosexuality, and homosexual practice? In this short book, Dr. Howard Snyder approaches these questions with both prophetic nerve and pastoral sensitivity as he invites honest dialogue and authentically Christian conversation."--Back cover."
