Bellinger, William H. New International Biblical Commentary: Leviticus and Numbers. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson , 2001. Print.
[A brief and mostly thorough conservative commentary on Leviticus and Numbers. Thorough enough to warrant citing. Lacked in some aspects such as describing the New Testament relevance of the Jewish Feasts and relevance of the Old Testament Laws in relation to the New Testament. Was especially evident concerning passages on homosexuality.] Single Author Book
Bercot, David W. A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs. 1998. Reprint. Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 2008. Print.
[A rather large and robust compendium of historical quotes starting with the Bible until the medieval church. A very thorough source. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this density of quotes from early church fathers except in their own writings. Thoroughness of actual quotes is at times dubious as I referenced other sources and found that some quotes were decontextualized or only printed in part] Dictionary

Boswell, John. Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century. 1980. University Of Chicago Press, 2009. Kindle Edition.
[This work by Boswell was my primary pro-homosexual source. It was the most scholarly and articulate of all the pro-homosexual sources I used. Boswell argued well for his point of view but in the end, failure to cite some key statements and produce clear biblical evidence (as in the case of arsenokoitai meaning prostitutes) or precedents muted many of his arguments or invalidated them. In the end having perused much of the work I am now convinced he was attempting to reconcile his sexuality with his faith. In the end I believe he failed but not for lack of trying] Single Author eBook

Champlin, Edward. Nero. Cambridge, Mass.: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2003. Print.

Erickson, Millard J. Introducing Christian Doctrine. 2nd ed. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Baker Academic, 2001. Print.
[One of three primary theology books used to reference/cite theological concepts to keep paper as scholarly was possible. This is a book was smallest of the three theology books reference and as such was not as thorough as Grudem and Enns. Author was more concise with definitions and explanations due to limitations of space. The book was still lacking in bringing out ideas involved with sin] Single Author Book
Evans, Craig A. The Bible Knowledge Background Commentary: Acts-Philemon. Colorado Springs, Colo.: Victor, 2004. Print.

France, R. T. Matthew: The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2007. Print.
[Part of a good commentary series, but Matthew seems a bit weak. Some portions are poignant and others seem like they are filler attempting to meet the demands of publisher for page count. Portion cited for this book was apropos and suitable for my needs. Due to what appears sporadic accuracy and thoroughness I cannot recommend this particular book to people that do not have a biblical discerning eye for accuracy and ability to see an author’s obvious inclination towards particular biases.] Single Author Book

[A mainly conservative dictionary on theological issues and topics. NT Wright has some very liberal ideas but past bias does not seem to bleed over into this dictionary too badly. A brief perusal outside of my topic revealed some neutral positions where authors and editors should’ve been more vocally against the unbiblical view but seemed to remain silent.] Dictionary

[Oxford standard tome on the Classical world and its culture. Topics range from mini-biographies on obscure historical people to nuanced detailed explanations of sexual preferences and behaviors of pedophilia and pederasty. The dictionary is extraordinarily thorough but occasionally prone to intellectual liberal bias. As such it may at times lean liberal in its views. I was fortunate enough to have gotten this dictionary second-hand for a negligible cost. Only complaint is that the text is 7 or 8 font and is difficult to read without a magnifying glass.] Multi-Author Dictionary

[Fordham University’s republishing of the Gay Liberation Front’s manifesto from the early 1970’s. This document shows the underlying modus operandi to put their agenda or plans into action. It also shows a direct correlation not only between the activist/militant homosexual movements but also their intent to affect a change not only in the church but also in the psychiatric community and even the culture at large by changing sex education.] Website

[One of the standard Hebrew dictionary/lexicons. Has its own numbering system and also cross-references Strong’s numbering system for those weak in the Hebrew language (like myself.) Next to Kittel’s Theological Dictionary and Colin Brown’s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament its thoroughness is second to none. If there is a potential for linguistic or grammatical overload it resides here in this book. It is the first dictionary/lexicon I draw on when dealing with Old Testament passages. A majority of the citing for the Old Testament in this paper came from these two volumes. This is a monumental work that needs to be in everyone’s library.] Two Volume, Multi-Author Theological Dictionary/Lexicon

Helminiak, Daniel A. What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality. Millennium ed. Tajique, NM: Alamo Square Press, 2000. Print.
[An extremely bias pro-homosexual tome. I used it specifically to balance the abundance of conservative scholarship in this paper. It is clear there was a motive to promote homosexuality in this book. Assertions were made and in many cases they were not backed with citation as noted in the text of this paper. I cannot recommend this book to anyone as its biblical interpretation is horribly flawed.] Single Author Book

[Extremely liberal and biased work essentially promoting alternative lifestyles in antiquity. By doing so there is then a hermeneutical bridge created to attempt to justify the same types of modern behavior such as anal sex and other unnatural acts by eunuchs. I am personally not sure how the author can consider himself Christian and still advocate and approve of such unbiblical views. Author uses fallacies of logic and misunderstanding of Scripture to force ideas in this journal] Journal Article
Nicholas, Holtam. "Homosexuality." Encyclopedia of Christianity. Ed. John S. Bowden. New York, N.Y.: Oxford University Press, 2005. 592-594. Print.
[Christian encyclopedia that seems to have a neutral stance. It neither condoned conservative views not liberal ones in the bulk of its definitions. Although it presents a relatively balanced view, it is not until one reads the conclusion that the liberal bias becomes evident. Therefore I would have to say that some of what was within its covers was subject to close scrutiny in terms of orthodoxy] Encyclopedia
Jenni, Ernst, and Claus Westermann. Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament. Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson Publishers, 1997. Print.
[A more recent version of the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament by another and publisher. Not nearly as thorough as the Workbook on the Old Testament. It is missing quite a few words that it should probably contain. Didn’t research this fact completely but it looks as it if only contains the highest usage of Hebrew words or relevant hapax legomenon that would fit into a three volume work.] Three Volume Multi-Author Lexicon/Dictionary

[This commentary is part of the Hendriksen/Kistemaker New Testament Commentary series. Series is exceptionally conservative and reformed in its approach. This is my primary source for preaching and teaching as this series approaches all avenues of intellectual thought when exegeting Scripture. Interprets and integrates Greek both grammatically and linguistically. Also integrates 1st century geo-political/historical context so reader will be completely immersed in the 1st century context when attempting to understand what was written in Scripture] Single Author Book

Mounce, Robert H. Matthew: New International Biblical Commentary. 1991. Reprint. Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 2002. Print.
[An accurate but apparently abbreviated commentary on Matthew. Author is primary known for his work along with his brother writing Greek textbooks and teaching Koine Greek in general. Knowing this about the author led to high expectations of this before reading it. I ended up rather disappointed that he did not focus or emphasize the nuances of language that could’ve been gleaned from the Gospel of Matthew. Adequate but sub-par for a scholar of Mounce’s caliber.] Single Author Book

[A heavily pluralistic and postmodern website that passes itself off as unbiased on any religion but is clearly anti-religion and particularly anti-Christian. Maligning and undercutting of Christianity is at times so subtle as to be indiscernible. Reader having read enough will come away with a negative or jaded attitude towards Christianity and the Bible even though the site passes itself off as “religiously tolerant” or accepting of all religions. It is nothing of the sort.] Website

[A blatantly pro-homosexual book. Author seemed to pass himself off as an authority on interpreting Scripture but is quickly became evident reading it that he lacked even fundamental hermeneutical skills. The book was clearly written with an agenda to promote the idea that the Bible is either pro-homosexual or is virtually silent on homosexuality after the Old Testament prohibitions.] Single Author Book

Spitzer, Robert L. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: (DSM III). 3. ed. Cambridge: University of Cambridge, 1986. Print.
[Classic scientific psychological reference used in the diagnosis of mental disorders. This is an outdate version as it is the last version to contain homosexuality as a disorder. Subsequent versions are absent homosexual references of any kind. It appears to be heavily influence by the culture and not so much science. I base this on the fact that at one time it contained homosexuality as a sexual/mental disorder/dysfunction but due to the unrelenting pressure of society it has acquiesced and given into the culture by removing homosexuality from its pages as of its most recent version DSM IV.] Appears to be multi-author medical/clinical diagnostic manual.

[An unbiblical website of Westboro Baptist Church pastored by Fred Phelps. This church and its members are infamous for protesting funerals of servicemen and woman with derogatory and defaming signs and chanting slanderous and unbiblical slogans such as “God Hates Fags.” I needed to include this group as a point of contrast to true Christianity so that I could teach those that would read this paper how broad generalizations about Christians are not fair and nor are they true. As Westboro is so far outside the norm and mainstream church it aids me in showing what Christianity is not.] Website/Blog

[The archtype commentary about a portion of Jewish Law by a commentary writer. Wenham offers insight in this work that can be found nowhere else.
