SHOULD WE TOLERATE "TOLERANCE"?

The issue of homosexuality has become one of societys most controversial and divisive issues. In the guise of tolerance and diversity, modern culture has chosen to call homosexuality an alternative lifestyle, ignoring completely what Scripture says on the issue.

Now, noted apologists, James R. White, and Jeffrey D. Niell present the Christian response to these recent claims that undermine, rather than reflect, the Bibles teaching.

THE SAME SEX CONTROVERSY explores the biblical and theological foundations for a strong stance against homosexuality. But it also equips believers to reach out with clarity, compassion, and love to those caught in homosexualitys powerful grip in order to share with them the freedom that is available.

THE SAME SEX CONTROVERSY consistently presents the biblical basis of morality while it deals with the current question of homosexuality. It explores the biblical teaching on marriage and sexuality as well as answer the claims of those who assert that the Bible supports homosexuality. Passages that deal with homosexuality, from the Old and New Testaments, will be explained in the light of this current debate.

"This is one of the most important books published in recent years. Authentic Christians have had few resources to counter the growing trend towards homosexual accommodation in our culture--especially amidst people in their late teens and early twenties. That has now changed with this publication...it has been worth the wait." -discerningreader.com
