"Abomination"?
Cleaning out my inbox today and discovered I'd emailed myself:
Does the Bible Really Call Homosexuality an “Abomination”? which argues thoroughly that "a close reading of the term toevah [mistranslated as 'abomination'] suggests an entirely different meaning: something permitted to one group, and forbidden to another." (Which matches part of the arguments in "Dirt, Greed and Sex" which I reviewed a few months back.)
And now I'm clicking all sorts of links in the general Sex and Gender category there. (And just remembered the link I posted last time is from there too.)
