Total copies: 1
In this new and expanded edition of his 2006 publication, Jack Rogers argues for for equal rights in both the Church and society for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered people. Additions to the original text include 'Stories from the Road' and updates on positive developments within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). In this revised and expanded best seller, Rogers argues for equal rights in both the church and society for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people. He describes how he moved away from opposition to support, charts the church's history of using biblical passages to oppress marginalized groups, argues for a Christ-centered reading of Scripture, debunks stereotypes about gays and lesbians, and explores texts used most frequently against homosexuals and gay ordination. In this newly revised edition, he maps the recent progress of major U.S. denominations toward full equality for LGBT persons, adds a new chapter that examines how Scripture is best interpreted by Jesus' redemptive life and ministry, and updates his own efforts and experiences. The book also includes a guide for group study or personal reflection.
