Unclobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality
by Colby Martin
Loved the basis of this book: a series of well-reasoned and well-researched analysis of the Biblical “clobber passages,” which have been used to condemn homosexuality. In an easy-to-understand manner, Colby does a tremendous job of putting these passages into the greater context of the arguments in the text, as well as the time they were written. He brings in the original Greek when necessary, and provides examples of how these terms have been used differently in the Bible.
The chapters that didn’t deal with the clobber passages followed Colby’s journey as he wrestled with these beliefs. While I appreciated his journey, I found myself skipping ahead to the Unclobber chapters. Sorry Colby.
Overall, I really liked this. It helped to put the clobber passages in their time, place and context.
