finalefile 's review for:
Though I fully support same-sex marriage on a legal/secular level, until now I have not been able to find a good way to reconcile it with the Bible. While God and the Gay Christian didn't convince me 100% of the validity of Christian same-sex relationships, it sure came close! (I admit I may never be able completely wrap my head around this because the issue doesn't affect me personally--I am happily single, and I don't have any desire to marry someone [of any gender] in the foreseeable future.) Matthew Vines goes into great detail regarding the Bible passages that mention homosexuality, and explains how none of them reflect the reality of loving, monogamous same-sex relationships today. He also explains in a very convincing way how marriage is a blessing and a noble calling for Christians, regardless of gender, and how celibacy is also a calling/blessing and should therefore not be forced upon gay/lesbian people. I am really glad that I read this book, as it looked at the topic of same-sex marriage in a more complex way than I have seen before, while treating the Bible and traditional Christian values with respect.
