Affirmative: Why You Can Say Yes to the Bible and Yes to People Who Are LGBTQI+

di Jonathan Tallon (Autore)

Richardson Jones Press, 2023

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. Dr Jonathan Tallon is a biblical studies tutor at an ecumenical theological college. He teaches undergraduate and postgraduate students, trains people for ministry, and educates churches and church leaders. He has been helping people from different denominations, traditions and backgrounds with the Bible and LGBTQI+ people for over a decade. His popular Bible and Homosexuality YouTube channel and website have had hundreds of thousands of visitors. Dr Jonathan Tallon lives in Manchester, UK, with his family.
