Born This Way?

Homosexuality, Science, and the Scriptures

By: J. Alan Branch

What are Christians to make of relentless assertions that homosexuality is an innate characteristic? Some pastors and church members are suggesting that scientific research demands a change to the historic stance of Christian sexual ethics. The author of Born This Way? wants Christians not to be intimidated and confused by these assertions. Branch does so by carefully walking the reader through the research (but not painstakingly so) to show that homosexuality is not an innate quality, and how some findings are twisted to arrive at pre-conceived notions. He concludes that, "while there are some genetic or biological factors that correlate with a higher incidence of same-sex attraction and homosexual behavior, as of yet there is no proof of genetic or biological causation for homosexuality." This distinction is vital and comes as good news to those who want to be faithful to both science and the Bible.

Alan Branch addresses pointed questions regarding ethics, sexuality, marriage and divorce, bioethics, and Christian living. Readers will find biblical and reasonable guidance on their questions, including: What are the differences between individual and systemic racism? I've been invited to a same--sex wedding. Should I attend? Should Christians use vaccines from cell lines derived from aborted babies? I'm a Christian in an abusive marriage. What should I do? Is it morally permissible for a Christian to conceal--carry a firearm? With Branch's help, you can navigate ethical challenges with care and conviction.
