| Abstract: | What do Christians think about same-sex relationships? How is it possible that divergent and contradictory views on this reality exist among the different Christian churches, denominations and communities? This article attempts to offer some insights on these two questions. It will first outline four main positions on same-sex relationships that one might encounter within the contemporary Christian landscape. It will then explore why such a variety of standpoints exists, without attempting to resolve the tensions and contradictions within this plurality. |
