520 |a Few questions are more heatedly discussed in modem Western society than the issue of homosexual practice and same-sex marriage. Traditional positions have been challenged not only in the secular society but also in the churches. In this article it is suggested that the rapid change of views within most churches is partly due to the allegedly "new exegetical insight"going back to influential books by John Boswell and Robin Scroggs in the 1980s. Attention is given to their exegesis of Romans 1:26-27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9; their interpretations are discussed and contested. Particular emphasis is given to the widespread suggestion that Paul did not know about stable homosexual relations among equal, adult partners - as we do today. The article presents several ancient texts which demonstrate that this assertion is most questionable. Finally, the article has some reflections on the biblical prohibition against same-sex marriage within the broader context of Christian ethics.
