 | Romans Jul 17, 2003 |
| This is obviously a sensitive topic and judging by the types of reviews, a difficult one to understand from a biblical perspective. John does a decent job of trying to gain common ground between homosexuals and heterosexuals. What may be the cause for concern is really just each readers interpretation of the Bible or lack there of. Romans is very explicit about the issue. Along with God's grace comes repentance and sanctification. A process that the Bible calls all sinners to strive for. Homosexuality, bisexuality and promiscuous heterosexuality are sins like alcoholism, infidelity, murder, addictions, and any other thing that heterosexuals do as well. In fact, we're all sinners. Welcome to the club. Grace and forgiveness is a gift from God and John does remind us of God's grace and what results from his grace. Yes, even for the homosexual as well as the heterosexual and bisexual. It may be difficult to recommend this book to anyone bereft of God's grace or word. Although I would recommend the Bible over this book as a more complete source of how God feels about homosexual behavior, I would say that overall, John has tried to reach out and bridge a gap often filled with rhetoric, from believers to non-believers and all those in between. Tolerance is not a virtue. Tolerance seems to be the "new" answer for all religions and beliefs except Christianity. No one seems to be very tolerant of Christianity. Outdated? Hardly. Revealing is more to the point and no one likes to be shown their depravity. Not even heterosexuals. I would argue that John has tried to focus us to God's word so we see that tolerance doesn't solve our problem, it merely amplifies the sin on both camps and perpetuates our depravity. | | |  | Bart LCSW Jun 21, 2003 |
| A simplistic piece of Biblical propaganda. Ignores the reality of long, committed, and rewarding homosexual relationships. As a psychotherapist (already suspect to the Christian Right) this serves as continued avoidance of the question "did God create homosexuals?" This topic is simply to confusing for the rigid "black and white thinking fundamentalist Christian" I hope people interested in the subject will also research more scientific based literature for balance. I am the person who treats your children after their suicide attempts. For their sake, I hope the reader will broaden their scope. | | | | Poor Attempt from Super Author Nov 2, 2002 |
| John Stott is one of my favorite authors. He is a respected theologan and commentator. John Stott's book The Cross of Christ is a classic book. Unfortunately, this book falls far short of the theological rigor one expects of John Stott. He takes a complex theological and scriptural issue and treats it in simplistic terms, without giving adequate coverage of the issue. This book is a sad disappointment. It is hardly worth reading and is definitely not worth purchasing. | | | | Poor Attempt by Good Author Oct 25, 2002 |

| I just read Stott's work on same sex unions. In the middle of all of the foggy vocabulary and doctrine that is being created these days around this issue, Stott has done a wonderful job of cutting through that fog like a powerful lighthouse, showing the way for individuals and churches so that they will not crash upon the rocks of falsehood. It is important to remember that heresy sounds wise, otherwise no one would succumb to it (2 Cor. 11:13-15; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Eph. 4:14-15; Col. 2:23). Stott has truely done his work as a Pastor and a teacher in the wider body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-16). I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether they are struggling with this issue, know someone who is, or are just in need of a short, but solid Biblical exposition on the subject. It would be great supplimental reading for a Bible college or seminary class in contemporary issues. | | | Write your own review about Same-Sex Partnerships?: A Christian Perspective
