Product Description
No other issue in recent times has proved as potentially divisive for the churches as that of same-sex relationships. At the same time as many countries have been moving towards legal recognition of civil partnerships or same-sex marriage, Christian responses have tended towards either finding alliances with proponents of conservative social mores, or providing what amounts to theological endorsement of secular liberal values. Against both trends, Robert Song's book advances a staunchly theological account of marriage and sexuality which appeals to the central biblical theme of the eschatological fulfilment of creation in Christ, but is also open to the possibility of same-sex relationships. Rejecting treatments of the Bible which concentrate on a small number of well-rehearsed texts on same-sex relationships to the exclusion of the Bible's overarching narrative, this book provides a fresh interpretation of the Christian tradition and defends a vision of the church which embraces a plurality of callings, to marriage, celibacy, and covenant partnership.

Covenant and Calling
This is an intelligent, articulate and well considered addition to the discussion of Same-Sex relationships and marriage. It pulls together the discussions and works of others to try to present a unified point for a covenant theology of relationships that would include Same-Sex relationships.
This book is well written and the style is very easy to read, and it is not confrontational in tone. But then it is a book that does not take sides, but that rather elucidates the larger discussion in depth and considered details, opening a discussion for a theology that could, perhaps, encapsulate all covenant relationships regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
This book is a must read for those wanting more than just the usual arguments, for those wanting to get to the root of the theology that is being discussed, and that just want to have a better understanding of the discussion at that level.
