Willard Swartley writes:
"...some people, generally reflecting the Boswell and/or Scroggs arguments, conclude that the seven biblical texts that explicitly speak of same-sex practices (Gen 19; Jdg 19; Lev 18:22; 20:13; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:9; 1 Tim 1:10) do not address the issue of loving homosexual relations....
"But is this really true? Numerous scholarly essays have considered the exegetical work of these contributions and have found them both flawed and unconvincing. The foremost contributions here, in order of publication are:
J. Robert Wright, "A Case Undemonstrated," Anglican Theological Review 66 (1984): 79-94;"These dozen authors span the Christian communion and cannot be dismissed as grinding a conservative ax. Rather, the fact is that careful scholarly work on these texts does not support dismissing them as irrelevant to today's issue of same sex relationships. A very good accessible brief discussion of these texts is by Richard B. Hays in Sojourners (July 91). See also Hays' helpful treatment of the topic in his excellent monograph, The Moral Vision of the New Testament (Harper/Collins, 1996), 379-406."
