          New book, published in 2008...

                     This collection of chapters and responses

                     tural analysis to personal experience,

                     written by respected professionals from

                     within the Adventist community. It seeks

                     to open the door to discussion, without

                     making any claim to provide ultimate

                     answers. Chapters are by various Ad-

                     ventist authors, and each includes dis-

                     cussion questions.

                           Edited by David Ferguson, Fritz Guy, David Larson.

 
Footnote: Since everybody already knows the traditional take on the so-called gay texts (“God said it, I believe it, that settles it!”), these resources largely focus on the newer perspectives of current religious thought.
