The Gospel of Inclusion

A Christian Case for LGBT+ Inclusion in the Church

By: Brandan Robertson, David P. Gushee - foreword

Narrated by: Brandan Robertson

One of the most fiercely debated topics in modern Christianity centers on the inclusion of sexual and gender minorities into the full life of the church. Dozens of scholars have stepped forward, seeking to make a compelling case for LGBT+ inclusion based on their contextualized reading of the six traditional passages that refer to homosexuality in Scripture. But these arguments alone fall short of providing a comprehensive framework for radical inclusion of LGBT+ people. In The Gospel of Inclusion, pastor and public theologian Brandan Robertson offers a compelling assessment of the biblical texts, cultural context, and modern social movements to suggest that the entire thrust of the Christian gospel calls the church toward the deconstruction of all oppressive systems and structures and toward the creation of a world that celebrates the full spectrum of human diversity as a reflection of God's creative intention.

must share

this book is a must share to Christians that are not open and affirming. I believe this book really can change hearts!

The explanations I couldn’t find

I keep saying “this just doesn’t line up with Jesus, these beliefs just keep getting stuck on Jesus. I know Jesus and who He is, and this just doesn’t make sense!” But in my frustration I couldn’t find the words for WHY it doesn’t make sense. This book was so clarifying!
