A Time to Embrace: Same-Gender Relationships in Religion, Law, and PoliticsWm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2006 - 330 pagina's As rhetoric continues to heat up on both sides of the debate over same-gender unions, clearly reasoned statements are in short supply. Watching this debate unfold, William Stacy Johnson found that he could be silent no longer. The result is this finely honed book. In A Time to Embrace Johnson presents a brilliant analysis of the religious, legal, and political stakes in the debates over gay marriage, civil unions, and the place of committed gay couples in a democratic society. Carefully weighing the pros and cons from across th emoral and religious spectrum, Johnson here offers a fresh, thought-provoking examination of one of the most controversial issues in the West today. |
