Strangers and Friends

What does God think of homosexuals? Suspicion, fear, condemnation and separation - all are among the responses that Christians have towards gays and lesbians. But how does past Christian teaching about sexuality influence our understanding of this vital issue? In Strangers and Friends, Michael Vasey returns to biblical texts and explore them both in the context of the culture of their time and ours today. Here is a ground-breaking book that evaluates recent studies into the history and sociology of homosexuality.
