In The Children Are Free, Rev. Jeff Miner and John Tyler Connoley offer a comprehensive yet easy-to-read examination of the biblical evidence regarding loving same-sex relationships and God's attitude toward them. In Chapter One, the authors lead the reader through a discussion of each of the six passages traditionally used against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. In their friendly and authoritative style, they demonstrate how an anti-gay interpretation is a misapplication of these scriptures. Then, in Chapter Two, Miner and Connoley turn our attention to the biblical stories and passages that affirm loving same-sex relationships. Did you know Jesus once met a gay person? Jesus' loving response is just one of the well-researched stories presented in this chapter. Chapter Three asks readers to take seriously the call of Jesus to think more deeply about biblical rules. And Chapter Four calls Christians to action, making a connection between the conflicts in the early Church and those occurring within the Church today. This book belongs in the library of any Christian questioning the role of Scripture in the lives of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, or the role of GLB people in the Church. |

 Written on August 5, 2007 Summary: A book that answers the question it asks. This book is biblically sound and addresses both the clobber passages so often misquoted on same-sex relationships and other passages not normally considered as speaking to this topic. I have recommended this book to many of my friends. Written on May 20, 2007 Summary: This book doesn't leave you with a cloud of suspicion over your head I have read over 20 books on the subject of homosexuality and every one of them left me feeling they weren't being completely honest or they were relying on speculative historical data. Many books on this subject are looking for loopholes or excuses. This book is so straight forward and honest. The authors remind us over and over again that we need to be careful what questions we bring to the bible: in this case "Is a relationship of two people of the same sex possible and can it be blessed by God?" The Children are Free is very simple and very clear. This book, as well as "Calling the Rainbow Nation Home" and "A Time to Embrace Same Gender Relationships in Religion, Law and Politics" are the 3 essential books that I would recommend to any person of the Christian faith who is truly struggling with the issue of homosexuality. Written on May 16, 2007 Summary: The Children Are Free What a great book! Just the thing I have been trying to find! Both solid scholarship, faith-insight and wrestling, but also timely and provocative. Thank you, Amazon, for making this book so readily available to the interested public. I sincerely hope more people will get this book and study it, inch by inch, line by line. I did not realize how un-faithful I have become concerning this topic.......needed to have my biases challenged by one who really cares deeply about this subject.  Written on May 13, 2007 Summary: if only... The first half of this book should be available as a pamphlet! It was a wonderfully done examination and explanation of how one can read the Bible, believe in it, and still not condemn homosexuals. But the second half ruins the whole thing. In the second half, they spout Spong-ian anti-theology that attempts (and fails) to undermine not only traditional Christianity as a whole, but also their own argument in the first half. If the first half were there all alone, it could be a book to present to conservatives to show how the traditional understanding of the key passages is in error. But the second half undermines that usage, as it claims that the Bible is just a set of myths and legends, that it doesn't really matter what it says, only what you get out of it: UU uselessness. And for this reason, no conservative will be convinced of anything but their own fears that all the people who support homosexuality are hopeless liberals who don't believe in Biblical authority. I am deeply disappointed, and I plan on looking elsewhere for help in presenting the *good* arguments to those of us who believe in the Bible. I strongly recommend that a person buy the book, and read only the first half, and tear out the second half and burn it. Written on May 10, 2007 Summary: A Christian's View of Same-Sex Marriage Christians who struggle with the church's view on same-sex marriage will find reaffirmation for their faith. |
