Same Sex Relationships: Classic Wisdom from John Stott

by John Stott

Overview

What does the Bible really say about same-sex relationships? How should Christians think about this divisive and heartfelt issue? And what of those who are caught in the crossfire: the brothers and sisters who experience same-sex attraction, but are committed to being faithful to the teaching of Scripture? In this revised, updated and extended edition of his classic exploration of these questions, the late Dr John Stott lays out the biblical position with care, wisdom and pastoral compassion. This book includes the moving stories of Christians living with same-sex attraction, and a discussion and study guide to enable individual and group reflection on this important issue of our time.
