This second edition was first published in 2011, so is inevitably somewhat out of date, but is still well worth reading.
Reviews/Comments
‘Exceptionally well written. Dr Johnson clearly states his own [affirming] position, and then manages to present a clear and unbiased representation of many positions. I recommend this book to anyone open to exploring the Church’s response to gay people and couples.’ — Chad
