Love All Our Neighbors
$24.73
Description
Too often, fear and suspicion have characterized churches' response to LGTBQ+ people. As we remain committed to the historic Christian teachings about marriage and sexuality, American evangelical churches have also harmed a community we have not understood. Our default has been to keep LGBTQ+ people at arm's length.
But there is another way, one that resists both culture wars and the pressure to revise scriptural teaching; one that embraces people and clings to historic witness.
In Love All Our Neighbors, Tony Scarcello shows how holding a traditional sexual ethic does not have to lead toward the exclusion of LGBTQ+ people from church. Drawing from biblical theology, cultural data, and the author's personal experience as a same-sex-attracted pastor, this book teaches traditional Christians and churches how to truly care for LGBTQ+ people.
In Love All Our Neighbors, you'll learn
- how Jesus loves LGBTQ+ people and desires to know them,
- how churches have built unbiblical barriers between LGBTQ+ people and Jesus, and
- how to dismantle these barriers and minister with care, without compromising orthodox theology.
