“God and the Gay Christian is a game changer.

Winsome, accessible, and carefully researched, every page is brought to life by the author’’s clear love for Scripture and deep, persistent faith.

With this book, Matthew Vines emerges as one of my generation’s most important Christian leaders, not only on matters of sexuality but also on what it means to follow Jesus with wisdom, humility, and grace.

Prepare to be challenged and enlightened, provoked and inspired.

Read with an open heart and mind, and you are bound to be changed.”— Rachel Held Evans, author of A Year of Biblical Womanhood and Faith Unraveled As a young Christian man, Matthew Vines harbored the same basic hopes of most young people: to someday share his life with someone, to build a family of his own, to give and receive love.

But when he realized he was gay, those hopes were called into question.

The Bible, he’d been taught, condemned gay relationships.

Feeling the tension between his understanding of the Bible and the reality of his same-sex orientation, Vines devoted years of intensive research into what the Bible says about homosexuality.
