Many arguments are made for and against same-sex marriage that end with divisiveness and confusion instead of thoughtful conversation. New York Times–bestselling author Dr. Preston Sprinkle provides a resource that will encourage respectful and thoughtful conversations around the question “Does the Bible support same-sex marriage?” Equipped with thorough research, history, and biblical context, this book will enable you to wade into some of the main arguments against the historically Christian view of marriage: The biblical writers didn’t know about sexual orientation. Jesus never mentions homosexuality. Biblical teachings about women, slavery, and same-sex are on the same trajectory. Since some people are born gay, then being gay must be okay. The Bible has been mistranslated. Preston carefully answers 21 of the strongest cases for same-sex marriage and offers a humanizing and thoughtful response to each one. Dr. Preston Sprinkle is the president of Theology in the Raw, which started as a podcast and has grown into much more, including an annual Exiles in Babylon Conference, hosted in Boise Idaho. Preston is also the founder and president of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender. He is a New York Times-bestselling author who’s written more than a dozen books, including Does the Bible support same-sex marriage, Embodied, People to Be Loved, Living in a Gray World, Scandalous Grace, Non-violence and many more titles. Preston and his wife Chris, live in Boise, Idaho, with their 3 daugthers and 1 son.
