Changing Our Mind by David P. Gushee

Haven’t quite finished this one yet, but I know it will take some time and I want to go ahead and get my thoughts down.
This is such a helpful book and I’m very thankful for it. If you’re looking for ways to interpret the Bible that are affirming of homosexuality then this will help!! There are sooo many ways to interpret the Bible and it’s so encouraging to see really legitimate explanations for some of those terrible anti-LGBT passages. I’ve been wanting to beef up my theology on this subject for quite some time and this was a helpful start. No need to read it straight through, it’s meant to be able to pick and choose the topics you’re interested in the most.
And if you’ve never questioned the Church’s traditional teaching on homosexuality….. then this book is ESPECIALLY for you!! Queer people are such an important part of the church and we’ve treated them so egregiously and unforgivably. Taking time to rethink this issue is so very worth your time.
