Rogers refuted

The review of Jack Rogers' book on homosexuality (October 2007) unfortunately adds to the confusion on this matter in the church at large. Prof. Robert Gagnon of Pittsburgh (Presbyterian) Theological Seminary has refuted every major exegetical and theological claim made by Rogers in his monumental work The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics; and also in his detailed critique of Rogers at robgagnon.net/articles/RogersUseAnalogies.pdf
It troubles me that the Record continues to stoke the flames of this debate by giving prominence to books like Rogers', which are theologically and exegetically flawed.
I studied under Jack Rogers at Fuller Seminary years ago, and even then he was moving toward a liberal theological agenda. His leftward pilgrimage is disappointing but not unexpected to many of us who have known him.
