Is the Homosexual My Neighbor? - Softcover

A classic work calling Christians to love and acceptance - newly revised to reflect today's crucial issues

When first published in 1978, Is the Homosexual My Neighbor? was the only book of its kind - a powerful wake-up call for Christians to reexamine their attitudes toward gay and lesbian people.  This revised and expanded edition is now more relevant than ever, with updated information on such key, headline-grabbing topics as gays in the military, the AIDS crisis, and genetic research on homosexuality.  Looking at homosexuality from scientific, psychological, and biblical perspectives, Is the Homosexual My Neighbor? is both informative and compassionate - the ideal resource for Christians on our culture's hottest social debate.
