Old Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and PastorsStruggling With Scripture

These two books fall fairly neatly into conservative and liberal/progressive categories. Old Testament Exegesis (by Douglas Stuart of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary) is a handbook of sorts for students and pastors, providing a systematic way for studying and exegeting a passage of scripture.

Struggling with Scripture is a different kind of book, a collection of lectures given, if I remember correctly (I don’t have the book in front of me), to some kind of gathering of the PC(USA) dealing with the interpretation of scripture, and it seems specifically how scripture speaks to current debates regarding homosexuality within the denomination. If I remember correctly, at least two of the three authors come to the conclusion that the church should fully include and welcome homosexual relationships and ordination of homosexual pastors, a conclusion I doubt Doug Stuart agrees with.
