Endnote 3 – The Biblical Circle of Homosexual Prohibition

See the essay by Simon B. Parker, “The Hebrew Bible and Homosexuality,” Quarterly Review 11/3 (1991) pp. 4–19, who stresses that, in a sociological sense, the laws in Leviticus 18 and 20—exemplify a priestly scheme for distinguishing insiders from outsiders, the people of God from other peoples.” I am indebted to Parker’s illuminating essay.
