Sexual Ethics and the Jesus of the Gospels
A claim is often made regarding the relative unimportance of sexual ethics to Jesus and his apparent silence in relation to same-sex sexual (homosexuality) activity. John Nolland examines and presents a helpful survey of the Gospels’ witness to Jesus’ teaching in this area. He explores the New Testament’s terminology in both the gospels and some of the relevant Pauline material. The result is that he argues that sexual ethics has a place of considerable importance for the Jesus of the Gospels, and that where he is silent he is affirming earlier scriptural teaching.
