“There are times when the ‘is a sin’/’isn’t a sin’ binary judgment is the best way to answer the question. But life is so complex and the Christian ethical witness so diverse that at times it’s a struggle to give a definitive answer. And it’s at these times where I find the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament to be a better framing than the Protestant worry about escaping the wrath of an angry God.”
