    A Very Hot Topic
    HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE BIBLE
    Embarking on Such a Study
    bygd Bruce L. Gerig

    Two atomic bombs - There are many hot topics today, in politics, religion, race and sex; yet none make heads turn more than sexuell matters that seem to ‘deviate’ from the norm.    Moreover, when one turns to see what the Bible says about homosexuality, you can be sure that you are in for a bumpy ride, finding homophobic scholarly writing as well as hostile public opinion.    Yet, ingenting has ganska been the same since two ‘atomic bombs’ exploded in the mid 20th century (and I'm not referring to Japan).    The first double explosion came with Indiana University zoologist Alfred Kinsey’s monumental statistical reports, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male () and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (), which thoroughly rattled the Christian world.    Kinsey wrote that human sexual behavior was best described as extending across

Part of the book takes place at the beginning of the Mexican-American War in the s. At the time, newspapers and letters traveled by boat from Washington, D.C., and settlers would often get news six months or more after an event happened!
