A Must-Read for serious students of the Bible and LGBT spirituality
I was so blessed by your book! It is so thoroughly researched and the author obviously has a deep love and reverance for the scriptures. I will be able to use it to educate those who have said "You just read the Bible the way you want to, to justify your lifestyle."
It seems to me it would be pretty hard to be a serious Biblical scholar and NOT come to the conclusions the author did. Being Missouri Synod Lutheran and a lesbian, my religious education has included a lot of scripture sutdy, so I appreciate the research that went into this book. Thank you for the time, energy and inspiration that went into the most complete and affirming book on this topic I've ever read!

Tour de Force
In his book GAY CHRISTIAN 101, Rick Brentlinger delves deep into the Scriptures and their historical context to present one of the most comprehensive studies on the Bible and Homosexuality. The depth and breadth of his research is unparalleled as he examines closely the biblical texts, as well as writings by their contemporaries on sexuality.

All In All, A Very Good Book
Rick presents a very good case for a Gay-affirming God of the Bible. He provides a very detailed view of the various biblical passages directly and/or indirectly referencing homosexuality, and offers arguments I've previously not heard--a rare find in the age of regurgitated literature.

He provides PLENTY of evidence to support most of his claims. A few were a stretch; but the overall effort of the book, and various points it firmly establishes make this an excellent and almost absolutely necessary addition to your library. It's definitely worth the time and money.
