Debating gay marriage? You'll want "Homosexuality and the Bible"

During recent weeks five U.S. states, plus the Washington DC city council, have dramatically legalized gay marriages. New Hampshire is expected to become the sixth state this week, and New York's state senate is currently debating the issue, with strong support from both the state assembly and the governor. Political leaders, community activists, and educators from across the political spectrum are discussing this hot topic around the nation.

With Gay Pride Month just around the corner (June), the Fellowship of Reconciliation offers an excellent resource for discussing issues of sexuality, written by world-renowned theologian and author Walter Wink. "Homosexuality and the Bible" is a brief, accessible booklet, and thousands of people of faith nationwide have found it to be a helpful primer for conversations on how scripture addresses same-gender relationships.

The 16-page booklet was written with Christian readers in mind, but can be used in other faith community settings, especially other Abrahamic ones, as it draws on Judeo-Christian teachings. With the topic of gay marriage dominating current political and religious conversation, this could be the right foundational resource for your upcoming educational program or small-group dialogue setting.

First published in 1996 by FOR, "Homosexuality and the Bible" was updated in 2005 and includes an addendum on the topic of gay marriage. Sold exclusively by FOR's Bookstore, new single copy rates and bulk rates are as follows (plus shipping):
