How should the Bible be used in this enterprise? How should those texts be translated for today\'s reader? The contributors to this book, all noted biblical scholars, confront these questions as they deal with issues surrounding the ethics of sexual behavior, in general, and the divisive issue of gay\/lesbian ordination, in particular.
