Recommended Reading

Although I can't endorse all the content of these books, they are generally good. They are all use scripture for moral guidance.

	What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality Daniel A. Helminiak ISBN: 096247519X A straightforward, scriptural, approach to what the Bible says about homosexuality. It is both thorough and suitable for the non specialist audience. An excellent bibliography provides many references for further study.
	Jonathan Loved David Tom Horner ISBN: 0664241859 This book gives some cultural background for the Old Testament. It discusses the possible affirmations of same-sex relationships in Scripture, paying particular attention to Ruth and Naomi, and David and Jonathan. The writing style is a little eccentric in places, but the Old Testament exposition is excellent.
	The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-Sex Relationships Jeff Miner and John Tyler Connoley ISBN: 0971929602 A readable introduction to all the passages traditionally used to oppose gay relationships, as well as finding positive affirmation in scripture. Perhaps a little too lightweight and evangelical for most Christadelphians.
	Wrestling with God and Men Rabbi Steven Greenberg ISBN 0299190909 A discussion of same-sex relationships in the Jewish tradition, written by an Orthodox Rabbi. Has some good insights into the story of Sodom.
	Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the 14th Century John Boswell ISBN: 0226067114 An academic study of early Christian attitudes to homosexuality. Has a lengthy appendix on the translation of arsenokoites.
	The New Testament and Homosexuality Robin Scroggs ISBN: 0800618548 An academic study of First Century attitudes to homosexuality and their relevance to our understanding of the New Testament.
