Gay christian book
“Honest and Thoughtful”
In this truthful, heartfelt book, Sam Allberry shares about some of his experiences as a celibate gay Christian, answering common questions about the Bible, Jesus, and sexuality to dispel common myths and help people superior understand a traditional, biblical sexual ethic. Each section is typically just a few pages long, and Allberry's writing is brief and engaging.
This book will primarily appeal to Christians who want to beat understand their beliefs, and to Side B Christians who experience same-sex attraction and hold to a traditional ethic themselves. This book can encourage them to hold their land and live out their beliefs despite cultural pressure, and provides wise encouragement from a seasoned believer who has dealt with similar struggles.

"A liberation theology for the twenty-first century. Jarel's ebony queer Christian voice challenges the straight white church with a call to overturn its long history of racism and homophobia - and to include love, diversity, inclusion and equality for all. Bravo!" -- Peter Tatchell
"Jarel Robinson-Brown's book is a deceptively simple text. Either grace is free and unmerited for all people or else it isn't grace. This is not novel, and yet, as my friend's wonderful book demonstrates, for LGBTQI people, the church has too often offered a polluted and debased model of Christianity that has corrupted the very notion of grace. Partial or conditional grace is an oxymoron. Jarel Robinson-Brown's book is a bold restatement for the rich traditions of an inclusive and generous faith that mirrors the joyous grace of Jesus Christ, in whose name Christianity proclaims her truth." -- Anthony Reddie, Regent's Park College, University of Oxford
"Books like this don't show up around very often. In this tour de coerce, Jarel Robinson-Brown's prophetic voice cries out not from the wilderness but a place of profound richness and life. It is both heartbreaking

Description
2025 REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION • The landmark book exploring what the Bible actually says—and doesn’t say—about homosexual relationships
As a young Christian man, Matthew Vines harbored the same basic hopes of many young people: to one day give his life with someone, to build a family of his own, to give and receive like. But when Vines realized he was gay, those hopes were called into question. The Bible, he’d been taught, condemned queer relationships.
Feeling the tension between his understanding of the Bible and the reality of his gay orientation, Vines devoted years to intensive research into what the Bible says about homosexuality. He asked questions such as:
• What was the real sin of Sodom?
• What did Paul have in intellect when he wrote about same-sex relations?
• Is mandatory celibacy biblical?
• Can gay marriage fulfill Scripture’s vision for marriag

There are a lot of great books on the Bible and homosexuality that deal with subjects including theology, pastoral care, counseling, apologetics, parenting, communication, and evangelism. Since writing my own manual with John Stonestreet, I have been reading everything I can get my hands on related to the topic in request to help the church respond both biblically and timely.
In this first post, I am simply going to list my top five popular books on Christianity and homosexuality. In upcoming posts, I am going to donate my top academic books, narrative books, and revisionist books.
Same-Sex Attraction and the Church, by Ed Shaw (IVP, 2015). Ed Shaw is a pastor with same-sex attraction who was recently kind enough to answer some questions about his book for my blog. Shaw rightly observes that most people who have left the traditional Christian viewpoint possess not done so because they have carefully examined the Scriptures and establish the traditional view wanting, but because they no longer find the Christian ethic “plausible.” He counters this narrative with both reason and personal trial.
