Queer & Christian

Reclaiming the Bible, Our Faith, and Our Place at the Table

De: Brandan Robertson

Narrado por: Brandan Robertson

Celebrate queer faith and take your rightful place at God’s table with Brandan Robertson, the “TikTok Pastor.” The biblical scholar and social activist also reads this program.

For too long, the Bible has been weaponized to exclude LGBTQ+ individuals, despite Jesus’ radical message of inclusion. In Queer & Christian, Brandan Robertson envisions a faith where all are unequivocally embraced.

Ostracized at school, Brandan thought he had finally found his community when he joined the local church. But he soon realized that they were as intolerant as his peers at school had been—if not more so. After agonizing years of repressing his true identity, he discovered that God’s table had always had a place for him. Jesus’ love knows no bounds, embracing everyone unconditionally.

Queer & Christian is a joyful celebration of queer faith and an unyielding reclamation of the Bible. Dive into pages that offer:
-Compelling, evidence-based counterarguments to the “clobber verses” often used to condemn queerness
-Celebrations of queer saints within the Bible—more numerous than you might believe!
-Responses to commonly asked questions by queer folks and allies who’re feeling lost within the Christian faith

Brandan Robertson stands as a beacon of love, hope, and unwavering support for anyone ready to reclaim their faith from the clutches of intolerance.

Thoughtful and Provocative

I’m relatively new to exploring ideas in progressive theology and this is the 4th book I’ve read in the genre around sexuality.

He deftly recaps some of the main ideas around alternate interpretations of scripture, while adding many ideas I haven’t yet heard elsewhere and weaving in his own personal stories and experiences.

I found it to be soul expanding and it’s generated new questions for me to consider.

Smart man talk good

Very nice book, accessible and thoughtful approach to scripture and sexual ethics. Great overview for anyone struggling with how to reconcile faith and queerness, with helpful strategies for reading and doing faith from a queer perspective. What a legend

Insightful and affirming

The book is well thought out, responding to standard non-affirming arguments with compassion and reason. It’s one of those books I wish was available in my youth rather than now as it would have prevented a lot of wounds. Now, at least, it’s healing those wounds.
