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. - Back cover.

This is a really good resource on the title. He has two parts: looking at the five key passages ( Gen 1-2; Gen 19; Lev 18, 20; Rom 1; ITim 1), and then addressing the main counterarguments (the Bible talks about it very little; a better kind of homosexuality; gluttony and divorce; it isn't fair;

wrong side of history; God is a God of love). He writes with a lot of compassion, but also resolution. He deals only in an appendix with gay marriage.
Other books that might be good: Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity by A. Esolen; works by Robert P. George; The Intolerance of Tolerance by Carson; What is Marriage? by Ryan Anderson and RP George.
This would be a good item for honest inquiry from the other side.

It had many good points and does an excellent job of quoting the Bible for relevant references. I did not agree with the book 100% but I do believe it is a good book to help people see what the Bible says about this issue.
