Unclobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality by Colby Martin
informative

4.0
This was a short memoir/analysis of how the Bible (seemingly) addresses homosexuality. I appreciate how the author addressed each of the six clobber passages in a way that seeks to understand the meaning within the context which it was written. He interspersed his story of how he became an affirming pastor with the analysis of the passages.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was how the author kept referring to himself as coming out of the theological closet. It seemed like he wanted to compare his experience with the coming out experience for queer people. Although his emotions are valid regarding what he went through, it's just not the same.
