Nearly 30 years ago, a revered professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School named Richard B. Hays published The Moral Vision of the New Testament , a sweeping 508-page meditation on Christian ethics in which Hays concluded that the Christian Bible condemns homosexual acts. Hays called homosexuality “one among many tragic signs that we are a broken people” and said churches should not sanction or bless homosexual unions.
