{"product_id":"9781426798306","title":"Science, Scripture, and Same-Sex Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome church leaders assert that same-sex practices are incompatible with Christian teaching. The issues threaten to divide our churches and our nation.  Michael B. Regele explores current scientific findings in biological brain research, psychology, and sociology, which he compares with scriptural teaching from the Bible, to show that a faithful reading of the Scriptures is consistent with Christian teaching that affirms same-sex love leading to same-sex marriage and full participation of LGBT people in church leadership. Regele offers compelling research and well-supported answers to common-place questions such as:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIs sexual orientation a choice that individuals make?\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIs same sex attraction sinful in itself?\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIs it true that lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are more promiscuous than heterosexual people?\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIs it true that same-sex relationships do not last as long as hetero-sex relationships?\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIs abstinence for life the only choice for a Christian LGBT person?
