Abstract
The prominence of Romans 1:18-32 in the gay-debate is the subject
of various and wide-ranging opinions as far as the most adequate
interpretation of this passage. This contribution puts the debate
about the text into perspective by surveying some recent alternative
opinions on its meaning. It is established that two particular matters
are most important in Romans 1:18-32 and the past and current
debate on its interpretation: the argument according to “nature” and
the nature of the infringement or error (Rm 1:27).
