"This book is stellar. Gagnon deals with the whole of scripture setting human sexuality in the context of God's good creation, and arguing that any sexual practice outside of the covenant of marriage is in defiance of both Christian ethics and the clear ordering of society. The rooting of the Leviticus passages within the context of Gen. 1-2, and Jesus stamp of approval in Mark 7:21 along with Paul's affirmation make the scriptural teaching clear. But this is not all there is the larger emphasis upon marriage between a man and a women or fidelity within singleness that permeates the whole of scripture. The closing hermeneutical section deal with all the attempts to whittle away at the consistent sexual ethic of the bible and presents a faithful retention of a high view of sexuality with a call to compassionate ministry with all people who face sexual brokeness inviting them to be reconciled to God and transformed by his healing work in Christ through the power of the Spirit. The gospel sets people free so same-sex practice is no marginal theme. Jesus came to save sinners and for those caught in same sex sin this means healing a restoration to singleness or marriage between a man and a women. The ordination of those who are actively involved in homosexual sex is in open defiance of scripture, the authority of Christ and harmful to society."
