This book challenged my preconceived theological and biblical understanding of homosexuality. It has also significantly changed the way I think and understand about God. I found it a convincing and heart wrenching journey. It is extremely well written, well argued, and very focused on this challenging topic, while centered on Christ and the character of God. Vines successfully argues that Christians can affirm and bless same-sex marriages and still affirm the full authority of the Bible. Vines writes from a place of conviction in an intelligent and well-informed manner. He addresses many difficult questions and objections, giving in-depth answers reflecting a humble, honest, and thorough investigation. I loved this book. It was refreshing to see a different point of view that delved extensively and faithfully into scripture and the broader historical context for answers.
