Top Highlights

“Paul’s world contained a vast array of perspectives on sexual orientation, examples of consensual and nonexploitative same sex couples, and even homosexual marriages. There is no historical reason why we should assume that Paul could not have had examples of consensual same-sex relations before his eyes when he penned Rom 1.” (Page 523)

“For Paul, the question of orientation is irrelevant. Homosexual unions violate the boundaries of gender established by God at creation.” (Page 526)

“an imperative that Brownson himself shows is absent in Paul? It appears that Brownson has disproven his own argument” (Page 519)

“A better example of nonexploitative same-sex love can be seen in Hadrian’s love affair with Antinous” (Page 526)

“demonstrate the existence in the Roman world of the concept of a lifelong erotic orientation” (Page 525)
