God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships by Matthew Vines
4.0
So many times in the past five years have I been reminded of Proverbs 18:17: "The one who first states a case seems right,
until the other comes and cross-examines." I was told SO MANY TIMES growing up that "people who believe X don't take the Bible seriously." And it simply is ROYALLY untrue, on a multitude of fronts! If you want to disagree with other believers, disagree! But stop Bible-shaming already.
Sorry. Rant over. Anyway, in this book Matthew Vines presents carefully researched, thoughtful Biblical arguments for affirmation of faithful gay Christian life & marriage. I was familiar with many of these arguments already from other sources, but this book is a great concise & thoroughly footnoted presentation. Also compassionate, both towards gay believers and non-LGBTQ+ affirming believers.
