Book Review: Is God Anti-Gay?
I&#;m immensely grateful to Sam Allberry for writing this little book, in the Good Book Company&#;s recent &#;Questions Christians ask&#; series, for many reasons. It is a well consideration through, compassionate, biblically constant, eminently readable introduction to a very controversial and emotive topic. As I&#;ve been thinking and reflecting deeply on the whole topic of human sexuality, and indeed humanity, I&#;ve read a wide range of books, and this has been one that has reminded me of things simply, whilst not shying from the complexities of Bible, people, customs and reality.
The title is a good question, &#;Is God anti-gay?&#;, whilst the subtitle; &#;And other questions about homosexuality, the Bible and same-sex attraction&#; is a helpful hint that this book is going to be more than a one word answer. The author is honest about his own struggle with identity and sexuality, and so his writing is particularly poignant. And this is the beauty of this slim book, Allberry is not satisfied with uncomplicated answers, as he grounds his entire discussion in
Review: “Is God anti-gay" (2nd Edition) by Sam Allberry
If you’re fond me, when "Is God Anti-Gay?" by Sam Allberry was first published in , you establish it a supportive and informative interpret. I was surprised when an updated version was recently released. But what are the differences in the two editions?
Changes
Thankfully Sam hasn’t changed his stance or theology, but his terminology. Rather than using the descriptor ‘homosexual’, he now uses ‘same-sex attracted’ (SSA). The authentic book was 91 pages long, this is pages. Sam explains that the focus in the world has shifted in the last 10 years from asking, “What does the Bible says about gay people?” to “Is Christianity good news at all for homosexual people?” The objection is that Christianity can’t be fine news for lgbtq+ people, but Sam wisely points people to Jesus first before explaining why it is. He has added more questions: “Does Jesus ever mention queer relationships?” and “Aren’t people just born this way?” The end of chapters now have more space to react each question.

Is it ok to be gay and Christian? Does the Bible really say that homosexuality is wrong? Is sexual orientation fundamental to identity?
Author and speaker Sam Allberry has expanded and restructured his best-selling publication, which draws on his retain experience as a believer who experiences same-sex attraction. As successfully as exploring Bible passages that talk directly about homosexuality, this new edition frames the whole discussion with Jesus’ general education on sex and marriage, as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and happiness. It also challenges the current culture narrative, which inextricably ties sexuality to personal self, and he shows that the gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.
This sensitive exploration of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality has been written to help both Christians and non-Christians struggling with the Bible's teaching on this issue, whether they experience same-sex attraction themselves or not.
