Love Means Love: Same-Sex Relationships and the Bible - Paperback
by David Runcorn (Author)
Does the Bible really condemn same-sex relationships?
Many Christians wrestle with this question. Here, in his compassionate, cogent book, David Runcorn outlines how someone can support same-sex relationships on the basis of the Bible, not in spite of it. The Church, in every time and place, finds itself working out the shock and surprise of God's unfolding ways - often scandalized by where holiness, goodness and the life of God are to be found. Runcorn's insightful and moving reflections show how speaking in gospel friendship will help to dispel the anxiety and division that have tended to mark the Church's response to homosexuality. Covering sexual abstinence and celibacy, sexuality and the sacred, he leads us to one powerful conclusion: love means love. 'Brim-full of gentle and clear wisdom. Highly recommended!'David Runcorn is a speaker, writer, teacher and trainer, working in areas of personal vocational guidance, spiritual direction, prayer, Christian faith and theology. His books circle around the connecting themes between all these topics and are a continuing exploration of what faith and human flourishing means in a world like ours.
