Last summer in Australia, I discovered that my 5-year-old is better at throwing boomerangs than I am. In theory, boomerangs hit their “target” by returning back to the thrower. Mine, however, didn’t; it acted like a normal stick. I share this story because one of the most seemingly persuasive arguments in favor of affirming same-sex marriage for believers suggests there’s a trajectory in Scripture from the Old Testament to the New that, if followed, finds its target in affirming same-sex marriage.

Readers might expect to find that Hays has changed his mind about the meaning of the verses that apparently prohibit same-sex sex. But he hasn’t. Instead, he and his son, Christopher (an Old Testament professor at Fuller Theological Seminary), suggest God has changed his mind. If we read the Bible carefully, they argue, we’ll find that “God repeatedly changes his mind in ways that expand the sphere of his love” (2).
