Description
With a scholar’s mind and a pastor’s heart, Preston Sprinkle offers a thoughtful and gracious treatment of one of the most divisive topics of our time—whether the Bible supports samesex marriage.
Many arguments are made for and against same-sex marriage, arguments that end with divisiveness and confusion instead of thoughtful conversation. New York Times–bestselling author Dr. Preston Sprinkle provides a resource that will encourage respectful and thoughtful conversations around the question “Does the Bible support same-sex marriage?”
Equipped with thorough research, history, and biblical context, this book will enable you to wade into some of the main arguments against the historically Christian view of marriage: • The biblical writers didn’t know about sexual orientation. • Jesus never mentions homosexuality. • Biblical teachings about women, slavery, and same-sex behavior are on the same trajectory. • Since some people are born gay, then being gay must be okay. • The Bible has been mistranslated.
Preston carefully answers 21 of the strongest cases for same-sex marriage and offers a humanizing and thoughtful response to each one.
