Reflections of a pastor who happens to be gay

These days there is an abundance of good books that discuss the Bible and homosexuality from an affirming perspective. Here are some of them:

Wilson, Nancy (1995) Our Tribe: Queer Folks, God, Jesus and the Bible

Swicegood, Thomas (1974, 2003) Our God Too

Scroggs, Robin (1983)The New Testament and Homosexuality,  

Scanzoni, Letha and Mollenkott, Virginia R. (1978) Is The Homosexual My Neighbor,

McNeill, John J. (1977) The Church and the Homosexual (1989) Taking A Chance on God

Martin, Dale (2006) Sex and the Single Savior

Kader, Samuel (1999) Openly Gay, Openly Christian

Jennings, Theodore (2005) Jacob's Wound;  (2009) Plato or Paul? 

Horner, Thomas (1978) Jonathan Loved David

Helminiak, Daniel (1994) What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality

Hanks, Thomas (2003) The Subversive Gospel

Cleaver, Richard (1995) Know My Name

The Queer Bible Commentary (2006) Editors: Bohache, Goss, Guest & West,

I'm always on the look out for books that cross barriers and think outside of the box. Inclusion on this list doesn't infer that they share my perspective on sexuality. Here are some of my favourite reads:

Halter, Hugh & Smay, Matt (2008) The Tangible Kingdom

Frost, Michael & Hirsch, Alan (2009) A Wild Messiah for a Missional Church

Wren, Brian (1989) What language Shall I Borrow?
