"Both sides of the gay marriage debate will benefit from this
startlingly original and theologically rich treatment of the graced
body. Here are Christian traditions not slavishly reproduced but
put to a genuinely radical use." Kathryn Tanner, University of
Chicago
"Eugene Rogers has produced a serious and illuminating study of
the controversial issue of sexuality that can be read with profit
by all sides in this sometimes bitter debate......Rogers has
written an important book that deepens our understanding of
marraige as well as contributing to the current debate on
sexuality."Bishop Paul Richardson
"This is an unusual, challenging and important book, which makes
a powerful theological case for same-sex marriage...The main
strength of the book lies, however, in its uncompromising
engagement with Paul's letter to the Romans and the twin ethical
discourses, natural law and divine command, that locate evil in
homosexual activity." Modern Believing
"This is an extremely good book. Rogers's argument...is
theologically informed, carefully constructed and powerfully
presented at every turn. It should be widely read, for there is
much of great value." Stephen R. Holmes, Journal of Theological
Studies
"This is a work of some theological richness, subtlety and
scope, which is - for that very reason - notably free from the
familiar dogmatisms and polemicizing that cloud the debate on
homosexuality. It is tempting to conclude that, if there is a
serious theological case to be made for same-sex marriage, this is
it." Studies in Christian Ethics
"This study deserves the careful attention of anyone who is
interested in identifying and understanding the foundations on
which a biblically-informed Christian sexual ethic must rest."
Pro Ecclesia
"Sexuality and the Christian Body shows a young theologian at work on a central dilemma of our day, a Christian who brings to his vocation scholarly rigor, moral and intellectual imagination, and, supremely, great theological passion. These are great gifts, and we can look forward eagerly to more." Theology Today<!--end-->
