God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships by Matthew Vines

5.0

This was really a pretty fantastic book. It takes a hot topic and addresses it with great breadth and yet also great depth. Vines takes on each bible verse that is touted as reasoning for why homosexuality is allegedly a sin. For each verse he addresses not only the original language, but also the biblical context and historical context. These discussions are solid exegesis.

I am only slightly biased and tried to read these arguments as objectively as possible. Even still, I think for anyone who is non-affirming it is impossible to read this book with an open heart and mind and not come away with challenged or entirely changed notions. If you can read this book at not come away with reasonable doubt, at a minimum, about the claim that homosexuality is a sin, then you need to do some checking of your faith.
