Biblical Theology of Sexuality: Introduction

Recently a request was made for an appropriate Christian response to homosexuality. While I wanted to just fire off an answer, I quickly realized that my response to homosexuality is contigent upon my Biblical theological understanding of sexuality. Thus, in order to give an adequate response, that is, to avoid the common cliches and unfounded claims, I'd have to show my work. After all, this blog isn't here for me to indoctrinate the readers on my say-so; if there is any indoctrination, let it rest directly and visibly upon the Word.

That said, I'm going to be starting a series on a Biblical theology of sexuality, the focus of which, I believe, is the marriage covenant. Call that last part my thesis, I guess. This will bring out a response to issues of all sorts, including the proposed response to homosexuality. I've got a few other topics to address as well. Our intent at Moodybloggers is not to upset or alienate anyone throughout the course of these posts, but to know our Lord better through the persuit of His truth. If, in the course of this, you are upset by anything posted, please let us know - dialogue is of utmost importance with issues this volatile. Our aim is the edification of those who read and the giving of glory to Christ.

A second request - if you want anything specific to be addressed, say so. If it's in the scope of the study, there's no reason we can't do the work.

Thanks for reading.
