MBI Crowell Library has the pleasure of hosting a lecture series by Moody's very own, Adjunct Professor Christopher Yuan. Professor Yuan, in a four part installation, will cover a spectrum of subjects related to homosexuality. The first lecture, entitled "Homosexuality: Texts and Hermeneutics," will begin Tuesday September 4th at 7pm in MBI Crowell Library's lower level:
There are six passages in Scripture which touch on the issue of homosexuality. Traditional interpretation of these texts condemns any sex outside of marriage between a husband and wife. And yet some claim that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality. So what does the Bible really say? With a solid background in biblical exegesis—knowing both Hebrew and Greek—Christopher presents and analyzes the gay-affirming interpretations of Old Testament and New Testament passages on homosexuality with clarity and compassion.
Thanks to the work of Amy Koehler, there is an avenue of information available regarding homosexuality found in the libguides. In order to be a well informed listener and contribute to the conversation we highly suggest that you at least take a minute to give this libguide an overview! Featured in the homosexuality libguide is Professor Yuan's book (2011) Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son's Journey to God: A Broken Mother's Search for Hope.
