Overview

In this updated edition of A Strong Delusion, author and counselor Joe Dallas helps readers understand what pro-gay theology is and how to confront it. In a biblical manner, Dallas examines believers’ personal responses and the need for bold love and commitment as they

• become familiar with the movement’s background and beliefs
• study a clear, scriptural response to each belief
• extend Christ’s love to those living the homosexual lifestyle

This resource is an important one for those who have been unsure how to respond to the growing acceptance of homosexuality in the evangelical community. It offers the balance between conviction and compassion and a practical guide to communicating with those who have embraced the pro-gay Christian movement.

Praise for The Gay Gospel?

"More than ever, Christians are challenged to articulate and defend the Bible’s position on homosexuality. In The Gay Gospel? Joe Dallas—one of Christianity’s most able and articulate spokesmen on human sexuality—codifies the arguments and arms us with clear, concise, and convincing answers. This resource is both compelling and compassionate."
—Hank Hanegraaff, President of the Christian Research Institute and host of The Bible Answer Man

"The Gay Gospel? is a must read for all who sincerely seek the cleanest explanation yet for the Christian attitude toward homosexuality. I pray that this work will have the impact on all segments of our society that it deserves."
—D. James Kennedy, Ph.D., Coral Ridge Ministries

"To be caught in the trap of homosexuality is difficult enough, but to be held captive in a strong delusion of a false gospel requires the strong arm of truth. Writing the truth in love, Joe Dallas reveals how to set the captives free."
—Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated radio host

"A powerful resource for those combating pro-gay theology, whether in their family, church or denomination. A former insider, Dallas used to ardently defend the same arguments he now skillfully demolishes."
—Bob Davies, former Executive Director, Exodus International—North America

"Joe Dallas’ new book, The Gay Gospel?, is a must read for anyone seeking truth regarding pro-gay theology and reaching those bound by same-gender attraction. Once again, Joe has thoroughly and clearly presented biblical truths while offering practical steps and tools to be more effective in evangelizing the gay community. Ultimately, the content of Joe’s book cements the fact that the entire issue of homosexuality is really about the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture."
—Pastor Phillip Lee, Executive Director, His Way Out Ministries

"As a pastor of a church in the heart of the gay and lesbian community of San Diego, I am very pleased to recommend Joe Dallas’ book, The Gay Gospel? Joe does an excellent job of helping us understand what happens when two of our most basic drives are in conflict: the desire for an intimate relationship with God and the desire for an intimate relationship with another. It is necessary to understand not only the way Scripture is adjusted to meet the demand of a biased viewpoint but it is also necessary to understand the motivation behind doing so. Joe helps us come to a compassionate understanding while still holding firm to the Gospel. If you want to engage the people in your congregation who are struggling to balance their spiritual desires with their sexual drives, this book is a must read. If you want to understand the process by which one comes to embrace error in order to accommodate desire, you need to read this book."
—Rev. Jack M. Sampier, Senior Pastor of the Calvary Temple Assembly of God
