review 1: Matthew Vines is a Bible-believing Christian. He upholds the authority of scripture. He's probably more literal than I am in his interpretation of scripture. Vines is also gay. And he talks about what the Bible says about being a gay Christian. He does a great job not only of addressing the 6 scriptures that are cited continuously as being the definitive case against homosexuality, but also of looking at the Bible as a whole and asking if God could intend what so many people think God intends for someone who is gay. The section on celibacy alone is fascinating. This is the first text I've read that really addresses being gay based on the message of the Bible as a whole. If this is a topic that you encounter in any way (and I'd have a hard time imagining a Christian that do... moreesn't), this excellent book is worth a read. (Though I thought his discussion with regard to Leviticus got too complicated; but that's just me.)
review 2: This is a great book for anyone who wants to know what the bible says about homosexuality. This book is very easy to read and makes a very good argument backing up everything he writes with facts and in depth research. This book is here to make the first step in a long needed conversation about what the bible truly says about homosexuality and whether or not it condones it. This is the perfect book for anyone who is struggling with the connections between religion and their sexuality or anyone who might need a little convincing about the issue. I hope that this pushes the envelope and makes more people and churches delve more deeply into this important issue. less
