![]() ![]() Wesley begins by sharing his own journey in some detail. So, by sharing his own experiences, he seeks to do just that. Despite the voluminous literature on Christianity and homosexuality, he could find virtually no books which offered him solace and encouragement as he sought to live faithfully. It is humbling because Wes does not gloss over the cost of such a decision.Īt the same time, Wesley’s book represents a challenge to the Church. It is inspiring because Wes has not experienced any change in his ‘steady, strong, unremitting, exclusive’ same-sex attraction, and is therefore committed to singleness and chastity. It’s all the more refreshing that, as an Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies with a PhD on the New Testament from Durham, he is well-qualified to say so. It is deeply refreshing because Wes writes from the perspective of a self-described ‘homosexual Christian’, who is convinced by the truth and goodness of the Christian teaching that sex is for marriage only. ![]() Wesley Hill’s book Washed and Waiting is a refreshing, inspiring and humbling read. Wesley Hill, Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality (Zondervan: 2010) ![]()
