TL;DR: The biblical evidence and current theological arguments about homosexuality are examined, maintaining the position that the church as a whole will benefit greatly from the liberation of gay men and lesbians from oppression.
Abstract: While strict moral and religious neutrality in psychotherapy is problematic at best, the therapist working with homosexual clients particularly needs clarity about her or his own moral and religious assumptions, together with knowledge of the Judeo-Christian tradition on the subject. This article examines the biblical evidence and current theological arguments about homosexuality. Christianity as an incarnationalist faith is a sex-affirming religion with positive resources for lesbians and gay men. An analysis of homophobia concludes, maintaining the position that the church as a whole will benefit greatly from the liberation of gay men and lesbians from oppression.

TL;DR: In this article, l'Irlandais J. H. Kennedy emettait l'hypothese suivant laquelle la lettre don saint Paul parle en II Corinthiens 2:4 ne serait pas I Corinthiens mais II Corinthians 10-13.
Abstract: En 1897, l'Irlandais J. H. Kennedy emettait l'hypothese suivant laquelle la lettre dont saint Paul parle en II Corinthiens 2:4 ne serait pas I Corinthiens mais II Corinthiens 10-13. Cette pericope que l'on appelle aussi Lettre des larmes fait l'objet de cet article afin d'eprouver la l'hypothese de Kennedy de facon rigoureuse et scientifique. A l'aide, en effet, des moyens exegetiques modernes (critique historique, critique textuelle, analyse synchronique, etude comparative...), l'A. tend a montrer les faiblesses d'une identification de la Lettre des larmes a II Cor. 10-13

TL;DR: The emergence in academe of a group of evangelical historians to a position of dominance in fundamentalist/evangelical historiography and to a front-rank position within scholarship on American religious history generally can be seen as a dramatic enactment of similar psychological and social forces that have resulted in American religious scholarship today as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: IN MEDIEVAL CULTURE, it was not unknown for bugs, beasts, and birds to be brought to trial, represented by council, and meted out sentences (frequently capital punishment) for "crimes" committed against humans. The spectacle of pigs appearing in the witness chair, or rats failing to appear (this was because, as one apologetic sixteenth-century jurist explained solemnly to the ecclesiastical court at Autun (Evans, 1987), the rats had not been guaranteed safe conduct past the local cats) was not a joke. It was a serious attempt-by European culture to make sense of the zoo within and to tame unpredictable beasts hidden in deep, dark lairs of both the soul and the social order. The spectacle of animal trials may be interpreted as but a dramatic enactment of similar psychological and social forces that have resulted in one of the most arresting phenomena in American religious scholarship today: the emergence in academe of a group of evangelical historians to a position of dominance in fundamentalist/evangelical historiography and to a front-rank position within scholarship on American religious history generally. Just to mention the names of Joel Carpenter, Nathan Hatch, George Marsden, Mark Noll, Harry Stout, and Grant Wacker is both to describe the gist and grist of much coming-ofage historiography and to celebrate evangelicalism's emergence in the
