Material type: Computer fileSeries: ConspectusPublication details: Johannesburg, South Africa South African Theological Seminary Press 2008Description: p. 135 - 167 PDFSubject(s): Summary: One of the most divisive issues facing the Christian church today is the ubiquitous issue of the acceptance of homosexual behaviour within the parameters of church leadership. Revisionist theologians contend that the church must redress her stance on this issue to keep in step with the prevailing culture of the day, which favours the acceptance of homosexual behaviour due to its proposed biological determinism. This article analyses this divisive issue from four perspectives: (a) historical attitudes towards homosexuality in a variety of cultures across time, (b) empirical studies regarding the causation of homosexual orientation, (c) the witness of scripture and (d) the implications for pastoral ministryItem type | Current library | Call number | URL | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
