Welcome to Season 4 of Deconstructing the Myth! Today, host Liz Mall (MA of Christian Apologetics, Biola) brings you another research episode to help you on your deconstruction journey.

In this episode we touch on three key concepts found in the Bible that tie into the homosexuality discussion: desire/lust, purity/impurity, and honor/shame. These concepts help us understand the "why" of the Bible passages that reference same sex activity, and are key to understand if we want to move forward with any sort of responsible application of the text for today's modern world.

We reference the books ⁠⁠Bible, Gender, Sexuality: Reframing the Church's Debate on Same-Sex Relationships⁠⁠ by James V. Brownson and ⁠Same-Sex Marriage: A Thoughtful Approach to God's Design for Marriage (Thoughtful Response)⁠ by Sean McDowell and John Stonestreet
