<ul><li>Voted one of Christianity Today's 1996 Books of the Year</li></ul> Too often, Thomas Schmidt writes, the charged battle over homosexuality generates slogans and accusations--obscuring the struggling persons at the center of the argument. In this book Schmidt brings the discussion back into empathetic contact with the circumstances and the choices of individuals. At the same time he offers thoroughly researched and up-to-date information and assessment from an evangelical Christian perspective on all the main points of the debate. He includes chapters on what the Bible really says (and means) about homosexuality, the health effects of homosexual behavior, whether or not people are born with homosexual orientations, and the cogency of recent progay reconstructions of history such as John Boswell's.

If you could add a book to the Bible, what would it contain? Here is one answer to that question: a ""sequel"" to Acts, showing the later careers of the Twelve, Paul's final travels before he faces Nero, the commission of the four Gospels, Jerusalem and its temple destroyed, the importance of the family of Jesus, and how close the apostles got to ""the ends of the earth"" in spreading the gospel. The Apostles after Acts includes a commentary that explains how the text was reconstructed from ancient sources and historical research. Here is a creative approach to the little-known but critical period when the New Testament record stops--and Christianity is just beginning. ""Written in the biblical format of the New Testament, The Apostles after Acts continues the story of the Acts of the Apostles. Schmidt classifies his work as historical fiction, but fiction based on scholarly research. The commentary that follows the text provides extensive documentation for his historical reconstruction. The result is a fascinating story that continues the narrative of the biblical account. His story is consistent with the style and the theology of the biblical account by Luke. His book challenges me to follow Christ by faith as the apostles after Acts did."" --Walter Hansen, Professor of Global Theological Education, Fuller Theological Seminary Thomas E. Schmidt, PhD, Cambridge University, has written or edited six books and more than thirty journal articles about early Christianity.
