A Parody of the Lutheran Faith
Robert Gagnon, author of what has proven to be the most devastatingly thorough critique of the so-called “scholarship” that homosexual advocates have used to try to change the Christian Faith on these issues, and others, has an excellent article, titled “Ed Schroeder Parodies the Lutheran Faith.” Available here
FYI…more on Gagnon:
He is the author of The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 2001; 520 pgs.); co-author (with Dan O. Via) of Homosexuality and the Bible: Two Views (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2003; 125 pgs.); and, as a service to the church, provides a large amount of free material on the web dealing with Scripture and homosexuality. In addition, he has published scholarly articles on biblical studies in Journal of Biblical Literature, New Testament Studies, Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Novum Testamentum, Zeitschrift für die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, Horizons in Biblical Theology, and The Christian Century.
Gagnon is excellent. One of the most detailed defenders of Christian morals on sexuality I have ever met. His discussion from the 2009 Exodus Conference about the Prodigal Son and how the Church should deal with homosexuality is amazing.
However, the link you posted is from 6 years ago. It is still valid information but anyone who goes there should be aware that the link from Gagnon’s site to Shroeder’s is now incorrect. It should be http://www.crossings.org/thursday/2004/thur081904.shtml
Also, while I admire Gagnon greatly, he tends to take a slightly historical critical view of Scripture at times so if anyone purchases his books they should be aware that they will encounter a bit of that.
