  • Boswell: Homosexuality Morally Wrong?

    302 Words  | 2 Pages

    Boswell in this controversial article argues that homosexuality is not a term that is regularly used in scripture, and the use of scripture cannot be used to assert that homosexuality is morally wrong. Paul three different times in his writings condemns what most contemporary scholars see as homosexuality, but Boswell points out that the term “homosexuality” was never a term “before the late nineteenth century” (Boswell 262). This would assert that Paul never directly condemns the act of homosexuality, and that anyone who interprets Paul as saying these things is not correctly reading scripture. I do not agree with this exegesis, and while I can see that this man is very well read and well learned in the Bible, he seems to have already answered
