You can affirm both the Bible and people who are LGBTQI+.
Many Christians are conflicted between including and accepting LGBTQI+ Christians and upholding scripture. They are dissatisfied with the limited welcome given in churches, and feel torn when told that being lesbian, gay, trans, or bisexual is wrong.
But the two don't have to clash. This book shows how biblical verses sometimes understood as condemning LGBTQI+ people have been misinterpreted by being taken out of their context. It also shows how the Bible can support positively the full inclusion of LGBTQI+ people in church.
Straightforward and easy to follow, yet based on the best scholarship, this book helps resolve the tensions around the Bible, sexuality and gender without compromising love or scriptural faithfulness.
