People to Be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is Not Just an Issue

Description

Christians who are confused by the homosexuality debate raging in
the US 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, gay pride, and whether intolerance over LGBT amounts to
racism? 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.
