David Instone-Brewer responds to Romans 1 controversy

Earlier this year our resident New Testament scholar David Instone-Brewer caused some controversy when he wrote about those who find themselves born in an intersex state. You can read it here. Some readers objected to his interpretation of Romans 1, which seemed to suggest the passage only condemns homosexual practice by heterosexuals who practise it contrary to their assigned nature. New Frontiers church leader Andrew Wilson tweeted that he had 'steam coming out of his ears' on reading David's exegesis. This led to an email exchange between them, which we have been given permission to reproduce below.
