Catalyst: "An Acceptable Sacrifice? Homosexuality and the Church" from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, edited by Duncan Dormor and Jeremy Morris, 180 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $24.99
[Source: Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge] Controversy about same-sex relationships within the Anglican Communion rumbles on. The stakes are undoubtedly high and serious informed discussion of the issues is rare. This collection of essays by nine Cambridge theologians is a contribution to that absent debate, attempting an honest exploration of some of the key difficulties posed for the Church by the question of homosexuality. Through a traditionally Anglican emphasis on the role of scripture, tradition and reason, they exemplify a way of doing theology in the face of profound difference that is scholarly, generous and accessible.
