What Does the Bible Really Teach About Homosexuality?

Book Description:

In this timely book, award-winning author Kevin DeYoung challenges each of us-the skeptic and the seeker, the certain and the confused-to take a humble look at God's Word regarding the issue of homosexuality.

After examining key biblical passages in both the Old and New Testaments and the Bible's overarching teaching regarding sexuality, DeYoung responds to popular objections raised by Christians and non-Christians alike, making this an indispensable resource for thinking through one of the most pressing issues of our day.

Endorsement:

"This book provides a short, accessible, and pastoral toolbox for all Christians to navigate the shifting cultural landscape of sexuality and find confidence and hope in how the Bible directs our steps. DeYoung offers wise and readable apologetics here, providing his readers with both motive and model for how to think and talk about homosexuality and the Christian faith in a way that honors Christ and gives hope to a watching world."

"DeYoung takes on the most pressing issue of our day: whether we will be conformed to the spirit of the age or whether we will follow Christ. Against the sexual revolution and its high priests, DeYoung presents an alternative vision, the ancient wisdom of a Christian sexual ethic. This is the best book on this subject that I have read. Every Christian confronted with these issues, which means every Christian, should read this book. You will finish this book better equipped to preach the gospel, to love the lost, to welcome the wounded, and to stand up for Jesus and his Word." Russell D. Moore, President, The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission; author, Tempted and Tried

"What a gift this book is to the church! Kevin approaches the difficult question of sexuality with compassion and clarity, showing us what God's Word says about it and why it is important. Well researched, accessibly written, and gospel saturated-this, in my opinion, is now the book on this subject for our generation!" J. D.
