The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships Review
By far, one of the most comprehensive studies on the topic I have ever read. Be sure to read it with an open mind and an open heart. We are teaching a class at our church using this book as the guide.
It is time we let go of the old way of looking at this issue. The study of biology and psychology have come a long way, and now someone has done the Biblical research to companion what we all in our hearts already know.
I buy at least 10 a year and give them away as gifts. You will too.
The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships Overview
In The Children Are Free, Rev. Jeff Miner and John Tyler Connoley offer a comprehensive yet easy-to-read examination of the biblical evidence regarding loving same-sex relationships and God's attitude toward them.
In Chapter One, the authors lead the reader through a discussion of each of the six passages traditionally used against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. They demonstrate how an anti-gay interpretation is a misapplication of these scriptures.
In Chapter Two, Miner and Connoley turn our attention to the biblical stories and passages that affirm loving same-sex relationships. Did you know Jesus once met a gay person? Jesus' loving response is just one of the well-researched stories presented in this chapter.
Chapter Three asks readers to take seriously the call of Jesus to think more deeply about biblical rules. And Chapter Four calls Christians to action, making a connection between the conflicts in the early Church and those occurring within the Church today.
This book belongs in the library of any Christian questioning the role of Scripture in the lives of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, or the role of GLB people in the Church.
