The book is written well and easy to track with and understand. However I read it with people from a conservative background in mind( who also have an open mind about this topic) because he said he has a similar view of scripture. From that perspective ,the book makes too many jumps and assumptions in its exegesis (I also am critical of many more religiously conservative books that do this as well). It did however point to other texts that I would like to read to get a more thorough understanding of his conclusions. A big belief when it comes to egalitarian views and also views on slavery is that the overall arc of scripture points to both egalitarian and obviously views against slavery, but not when it comes to lgbtq relationships. He doesn’t address this argument at all. It’s a short introductory book to this topic but I thought it would have been beneficial to touch on that argument a bit .
