Dr Timothy Bradshaw is Dean of Regent's Park College, Oxford and he chairs the St Andrew's Day Group. He is the author of Grace and Truth in the Secular Age, Trinity and Ontology, and The Olive Branch.
The subject of homosexuality is one of the most pressing dilemmas facing churches today. On the heels of controversial church appointments in North America and Great Britain, people everywhere are struggling to come to terms with the issues at stake in this divisive debate. This timely book sets out the full range of Christian responses to the issue of homosexuality and offers mature, informed contributions from key figures on all sides of the debate.
The authors, representing different subject areas and realms of experience, explore the question of homosexuality from new perspectives. Their insightful essays recognize the issue of homosexuality to be both an ecclesial-political and a theological matter, and their approaches to the subject are uniformly sensitive, characterized by Christian courtesy rather than hostility or drama. Readers will find this significant discussion both refreshing and useful for clarifying points of common understanding as well as identifying sources of genuine disagreement. The volume also includes the St. Andrew's Day Statement, which, drafted by seven noted theologians, cogently addresses same-sex relationships and the ordination of homosexuals.
