These archived issues of EC's quarterly review go back to the first issue in 1976.  In some cases, sentence structure has been edited for clarity and misspellings have been corrected. Updates are added in brackets to indicate that an author has since changed his or her position, e.g., no longer viewing homosexuality as incompatible with Christian faith or no longer claiming to be "ex-gay" or to indicate that later data came to light that put the original review in fuller perspective.
