More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"I have asked conservative Evangelicals whether they are open to the possibility that there could be more than one responsible Christian interpretation of the biblical texts that relate to homosexuality. Adrian Thatcher, in this passionate book, goes much further." (Church Times, February 2009)
"A very readable book, Adrian Thatcher presents a well–argued, clear and persuasive case for a peaceable interpretation of Scripture. ... His book deserves to be widely read, not least by all involved in decision–making at whatever level on questions relating to human sexuality." (Methodist Recorder, February 2009)
"[Thatcher] approaches the biblical texts under discussion from a range of viewpoints, thereby paying attention to the particular historical context in which these texts originated. With a healthy sense of irony, he distances himself from the misuse of the Bible without rejecting the Bible as such, and therefore his excellent work can only be recommended to Christians of any denomination." (Journal for the Study of Marriage & Spirituality, 2009)
Review
–Elizabeth Stuart, University of Winchester
"The great strength of the text is the thoroughness and the competence of the analysis presented. Thatcher is a master of the material and presents it in a way that is easily readable by all the projected audiences, including the educated general reader. The presentation is also excellent."
–Michael Lawler, Creighton University

I have read other works by the author and have always found his writing to be stimulating and challenging. I really enjoy his style of writing which makes academic subjects readable and his balanced, open-minded considerations and debates are very thought provoking. I thoroughly recommend this book.
