		<description><![CDATA[So why do I care about this stuff in the first place? Mostly it’s because so many of us have friends whose example of a loving, committed homosexual partnership is a huge challenge (and sometimes, quite frankly, an embarrassing wakeup call) to people who hold negative views about their living and loving arrangements. For me, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last time, I left you with a long quote from Webb. In his book, that long quote is immediately followed by this one: Paul worked out Jew-Gentile equality in his generation. Much of his ministry was given over to seeing Jew-Gentile equality fleshed out in concrete and tangible terms – terms that embraced sociological implications. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Galatians 3:28, Paul says: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (not under The Law). Many of us have added “neither disabled nor able-bodied” to this list of equalities, without asking why, or even whether it was OK. We just did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Testament author who most often lambasts homosexuality is the apostle Paul. He condemns it in several passages attributed to him: Romans 1:18-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Timothy 1:9-10, 2 Peter 2:7-8, and Jude 7. Whereas in Leviticus, Creation theology is the elephant in the room, much of the New Testament explicitly uses it in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now let’s look at cripples. Even if you do buy William J. Webb’s hermeneutic, I don’t think there is significant movement in attitude towards cripples in the Bible; no reason to think we are any less despised in the New Testament than we were in the Old. Sure, Jesus healed a lot of us, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that I’ve set my agenda, let’s look at a book which deals with Leviticus: William J. Webb’s Slaves, Women and Homosexuals (2001). Webb aims to address this issue: how do we decide which biblical instructions apply to today, and which are restricted to the culture of the Bible? We’re talking hermeneutics: put simply, how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Bible makes a great deal of use of metaphor.  In fact, without an appreciation for such ‘picture language’, biblical interpretation becomes a fraught exercise. In The Actuality of Atonement, Colin Gunton reminds us that metaphor ‘is an indispensable means for the advance of knowledge and understanding.’  He rightly condemns the common assumption ‘that metaphor [...]]]></description>
