JBTM Book Reviews 191 The word “love” used in 1 Sam 1:26 to describe David’s love for Jonathan in also used in 1 Kgs 10:9 to describe God’s love for Israel. The emphasis in not on latent sexual desires, but on covenant loyalty. Sprinkle borrows ideas from pro-homosexual deconstructions of the text in arguing that “same-sex attraction” as used in our culture is not analogous in any way to David’s friendship with Jonathan or Jesus and John. Sprinkle gives away too much and makes an analogy that does violence to the meaning of Scripture. Perhaps Sprinkle’s sloppy handling of Scripture in Gen 2:24–25, Ezek 16:49–50, and 1 Sam 1:26 are all indicative of what I perceive to be the deepest hermeneutical problem in his work—namely, that he appears to be influenced by the postmodern idea that we can never arrive at a certain meaning for any given text. It is quite concerning to read this remark by Sprinkle about his current work: it “doesn’t represent my codified, unchangeable, etchedin-stone declaration of what I have and always will believe about homosexuality” (PTBL, 11). While it is certainly true that we can always improve the way we apply biblical truth, Sprinkle seems to indicate that we cannot assert concretely the truth in the text. Perhaps this is merely poor wording. But it seems as if Sprinkle at least gives some credence to the idea that objective inquiry is not possible. People who experience same-sex attraction are certainly people to be loved, and it is painfully evident that men and women with such temptations have sometimes encountered unhelpful attitudes among Christians. But it is also painfully evident that revisionist interpretations of Scripture often abuse the intent of the original text in order to circumvent the clear Scriptural teaching. Sprinkle is to be applauded for the texts he handles with care (Rom 1:18–32; 1 Cor 6:9–11), but the degree to which revisionist interpretations have influenced his handling of other texts is cause for concern. - J. Alan Branch, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri
