 Excellent and Convenient Nov 19, 2008
Dwyer provides both a comprehensive and summary exegesis of, as the title suggests, the seven biblical references commonly used to claim that God condemns homosexuality or homosexuals, or both. Dwyer is responsible and faithful in demonstrating that such claims are at best misguided. He offers any genuine student of scripture authentic exegesis of each passage. He does not condemn persons who believe that gay people are inherently sinful or condemned. He simply shows that scripture cannot truly be called upon to support such beliefs. Readers may find some of his arguments familiar, perhaps having encountered similar ones elsewhere. But one cannot discount the convenience of having all seven of these passages, critical to any scriptural study on the hot-button topic du jour, addressed in a single small volume, and addressed wisely, intelligently, and faithfully.
 Those 7 References Nov 02, 2008
I was hoping for something a little easier to understand, but I suppose given that I wanted to get to the nitty gritty of the origianl language of the scriptures that are used against homosexuals, then it gave me what I wanted, I just got bored reading it after a while.

Helpful Book Oct 13, 2008
Rev. John Dwyer has offered us a helpful discussion of "those" seven references to homosexuality in the Old and New Testaments. He analyzes each of the references, places them into proper context for the reader, and explores the implications after doing this research and discussion. This is well-written, helpful book that will help our ongoing dialogue about homosexuality and the church.
