Straight & narrow?: Compassion And Clarity In The Homosexuality Debate - Softcover
Voted one of Christianity Today's 1996 Books of the Year! Too often, Thomas Schmidt writes, the charged battle over homosexuality generates slogans and accusations--obscuring the struggling persons at the center of the argument. In this book Schmidt brings the discussion back into empathetic contact with the circumstances and the choices of individuals. At the same time he offers thoroughly researched and up-to-date information and assessment from an evangelical Christian perspective on all the main points of the debate. He includes chapters on what the Bible really says (and means) about homosexuality, the health effects of homosexual behavior, whether or not people are born with homosexual orientations, and the cogency of recent progay reconstructions of history such as John Boswell's.

From the Back Cover:
Too often, Thomas Schmidt writes, the charged battle over homosexuality and lesbianism generates slogans and accusations. These obscure the struggling persons at the center of the argument - it causes those who oppose homosexual behavior to "lose sight of individual struggles, pain and faces". Writing with both an evangelical Christian perspective and profound empathy, Schmidt addresses all the main points of the current debate: what the Bible really says (and means) about homosexuality, the health effects of homosexual behavior, whether or not people are born with homosexual orientations, and the cogency of recent progay reconstructions of history, including John Boswell's. With arguments thoroughly researched and up to date, Straight & Narrow? takes its place as the most comprehensive, persuasive and readable Christian book now available on the subject.
