Show Notes:
Our guest today is Dr. Wesley Hill. Wesley is the Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Trinity School for Ministry, an Anglican based seminary in Pennsylvania.
More information about the Facebook group that Daniel mentioned can
be found here.
The evangelical university that Wesley attended was Wheaton College.
Wesley refers to two verses in the Bible. Jesus referring back to Genesis in defining marriage can be found in Matthew 19:3-6. “And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Matthew 19:3-6, ESV)
Paul talks about the Christian life being “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” in 2 Corinthians
6:10.
Wesley refers to two examples of friendship in church history: Aelred of Rievaulx and John Henry Newman.
Daniel asks Wesley about the
Nashville Statement, a conservative Christian statement on sexual ethics.
Wesley quotes Andrew Sullivan’s description of Christian church’s approach to homosexual counseling as a “vast, embarrassed silence.”
