Misuse of the Bible has made hatred holy. In this provocative book, Adrian Thatcher argues that debates on sexuality currently raging through the churches are the latest outbreak in a long line of savage interpretations of the Bible. He claims they should be exposed, not least because they continue an anti-tradition in Christianity that has discriminated against many minorities, including people of color, slaves, women and children. He asks how Christians have been able to conduct, in public and on a global scale, arguments which have exposed so much hatred and misrepresentation that the very mission of the church has been severely compromised. The answer lies largely in particular attitudes towards the Bible and the misuse of biblical passages. Informed by wide-ranging debate, and drawing on numerous examples, this balanced book breaks new ground in the well-ploughed territories of sexual ethics and biblical interpretation. It unmasks this savage tradition and offers instead an alternative, faithful and peaceable reading of the Bible; one which is faithful to the Triune God and rooted in the early church. It is fascinating reading for anyone concerned about the future of Christianity.
"[The Savage Text] is certainly a valuable--andsane--addition to modern Biblical scholarship."(Tribunal, September 2009)
"I have asked conservative Evangelicals whether they are open tothe possibility that there could be more than one responsibleChristian interpretation of the biblical texts that relate tohomosexuality. Adrian Thatcher, in this passionate book, goes muchfurther." (Church Times, February 2009)
"A very readable book, Adrian Thatcher presents a well-argued,clear and persuasive case for a peaceable interpretation ofScripture. ... His book deserves to be widely read, not least byall involved in decision-making at whatever level on questionsrelating to human sexuality." (Methodist Recorder, February2009)
"[Thatcher] approaches the biblical texts under discussion froma range of viewpoints, thereby paying attention to the particularhistorical context in which these texts originated. With a healthysense of irony, he distances himself from the misuse of the Biblewithout rejecting the Bible as such, and therefore his excellentwork can only be recommended to Christians of any denomination."(Journal for the Study of Marriage & Spirituality,2009)"A lively and very engaging text which will appeal to a very wideaudience. Academically credible, while written for educated andinformed Christians of all denominations ... there is nothingquite like it in the contemporary theological market. The book hasa standpoint which is clearly articulated and robustlydefended."
-Elizabeth Stuart, University of Winchester
