Paper: Homosexuality and the Bible

Author: Peter C. Moore is the Dean and President of Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He is the author of three books, including the award winning Disarming the Secular Gods (IVP) and A Church To Believe In (Morehouse). He edited Can A Bishop Be Wrong: Ten Scholars Challenge John Shelby Spong (Morehouse). He lives in Sewickley, PA with his wife and third child.

I would like to look at four possible approaches to homosexuality. In doing so my purpose is simply to show how different groups read the Bible, and indicate how that affects their approaches to homosexuality. By understanding how others view the biblical text, we may arrive at a better idea of why they find their own approach persuasive and have a clearer idea of why we believe as we do.
