Being Gay, Being Christian – Dr Stuart Edser

Being Gay, Being Christian – Dr Stuart Edser

There is barely a more divisive issue in the church today than the topic of being gay and being Christian. Being Gay, Being Christian dispels the myths surrounding this topic and posits the argument that the two are not mutually exclusive — that it is, in fact, possible to be both.

Author Dr Stuart Edser (principal psychologist at Newcastle Psychology and Health) argues passionately for church people everywhere to open their minds and show a willingness to discard older ways of thinking where more modern explanations reveal the truth more accurately.

With the support of some of the finest scientific and theological minds, Edser presents a compelling case for tolerance and acceptance, helping gay Christians see that as much as anyone else, they are loved and accepted by God and that they can love and accept themselves as well.

Within the gay community, the book should be of particular interest to readers, young and old, who’ve had difficulty reconciling their religious upbringing with their sexuality.

  1. It would be far better for the issue to be dealt with if the truth was told rather than just pushing an agenda . . .
    There are no true evangelical church that will tell you that a homosexual or lesbian cannot be a Christian. The are just the same as the rest of us – sinners
    What we do say however is that a truly repentant sinner will do everything they can to stop sinning and gradually change their ways.
    We are also teaching that you should not live in a sinful relationship.
    When all things are considered, the teaching of the bible has never changed. God never change so telling anyone that we should change the bible to suit how we live today is simply telling them to create a new god that suits them better – but that is NOT Christianity – that is NOT what Jesus Christ died for.
    Don’t be the peddler of untruth Dr. Edser –
