Sexegesis: Book Launch

Keep your diaries open on for Thursday 14th of June, because in Australia, in all the major capital cities, there will be a book launch for Sexegesis: An Evangelical Response to Five Uneasy Pieces on Homosexuality. It is edited by Gordon Preece (ETHOS) and Michael Bird (Crossway College).

Contributors include Peter Adam, Paul Barnett, Denise Cooper-Clarke, Michael Bird, Sarah Harris, Barry McGrath, Katy Smith, Gordon Preece, and Lindsay Wilson.

Why “Sexegesis” you ask? Because exegesis should be sexy and when you’re interpreting what the Bible says about sexuality you are doing sexegesis!

See the webpage where you can download a chapter for free and also buy the book too.

Basically this volume is designed as a short guide to help Christians and Christian leaders understand what the Bible says about homosexual practices. It is also particularly (but not exclusively) aimed at the intense and ferocious debates about homosexuality and scripture in the Anglican church.

I’ll have more info on the various locations for the official book launch, but the Brisbane book launch will take place at:

St. Andrews Anglican Church
160 Vulture Street, South Brisbane
11.00 a.m. , Thursday 14th of June.
A number of copies of the book will be given away at the launch!
