Trouble keeping up with the Eugene Peterson debacle? Religion News posted an interview in which Eugene Peterson allegedly claimed he was fine with LGBT relationships and would marry a same-sex couple and that many he knows have spiritual lives as good as his. Backlash ensued, and LifeWay was about to pull his books. Peterson then retracted statements that he says were off-the-cuff and not entirely accurate. Many blogs have drawn lessons from this back and forth, some kinder than others to Peterson. I was reminded of many friends who have enjoyed his books, and hope I can read his The Pastor someday.
