Christianity and Sexual Orientation Larry Dwayne Ponder

Christianity and Sexual Orientation explores biblical text and meaning in light of biological/genetic understandings of sexual orientation. The author weaves personal reflections among his explanations and understandings of why some people are gay, what God's word says to us, the impact of historical understandings, English interpretations of Greek translations, and implications for today's Christians. Gay (LGBTQ) people must know and understand that God loves them. Rejection, often religious-based, is harmful to LGBTQ people. Sexual orientation is a form of human diversity and we are called to love, accept, embrace, and include LGBTQ people in our communities and churches.
