Affirmative

<p>You can affirm <em>both</em> the Bible <em>and</em> people who are LGBTQI+.</p><p>Many Christians are conflicted between including and accepting LGBTQI+ Christians and upholding scripture. They are dissatisfied with the limited welcome given in churches and feel torn when told that being lesbian gay trans or bisexual is wrong.</p><p>But the two don't have to clash. This book shows how biblical verses sometimes understood as condemning LGBTQI+ people have been misinterpreted by being taken out of their context. It also shows how the Bible can support positively the full inclusion of LGBTQI+ people in church.</p><p>Straightforward and easy to follow yet based on the best scholarship this book helps resolve the tensions around the Bible sexuality and gender without compromising love or scriptural faithfulness.</p>
