Christians and homosexuality is a hotly debated topic in today’s evangelical world, and Southern Seminary continues that conversation in this publication. Matthew Vines’s new book, God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships, argues that homosexual orientation and committed same-sex relationships are consistent with a “high view” of the Bible and evangelical Christianity. Southern Seminary president R. Albert Mohler Jr. and four other seminary faculty members refute this claim in the new SBTS Press e-book, God and the Gay Christian? A Response to Matthew Vines.

Each chapter refutes Vines’s claims from six specific Scriptural references to homosexuality. Mohler’s chapter provides an overview critique of Vines’s book. James M. Hamilton Jr., professor of biblical theology, addresses the Old Testament claims; Denny Burk, professor of biblical studies, addresses New Testament claims; Owen Strachan, assistant professor of Christian theology looks at the church history assertions; and Heath Lambert, assistant professor of biblical counseling, answers whether there is such a thing as a “gay Christian.”

Having read and heard Vines, I am appreciative to the authors of this book in articulating for me ... my response to Vines ... in ways far, far better than I could have done. Thank you.

A good explanation of scripture, history, and the gospel

I thought the arguments were thoughtful and engaged the main premises of the opposing view. If you believe the Bible is God's word then after reading this I can't understand how you could think God approves of homosexuality.

Polemic, not response

April 15, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I don't know what I was expecting, but I found myself deeply disappointed with this response to Matthew Vines' attempt at dialog around the issue of same-sex relationships in Scripture. The first essay, though I did not agree, seemed respectful and I felt the author had actually made an attempt at understanding Vines' position. Not so with the other essays. In increasing levels of vitriol they attacked Vines' character and agenda in a manner that left me thinking that the purpose was to rally the troops for a cultural war rather than engage in dialogue. I got the impression that they could have constructed their essays without giving God and the Gay Christian any sort of serious consideration. In fact, I think that was the point of the latter essays: to discourage the "faithful" from giving GGC any sort of serious consideration.

I was eager to read this collection of essays because I wondered what a thoughtful response might be to Vines' approach and arguments from those resistant to Vines' interpretation and ideas.

What I found was mostly polemic and character assassination of a sort that does not suit the body of Christ well.

I encourage anyone interested in the conversation begun by Vines to read this short volume with the caveat that thoughtful response is not what one will find for the most part but the preparation for some, imagined culture war.

I was hoping that there would be some argument that made sense but this is obviously a case where they start with the conclusion that they want and work backwards to make the bible say what they want it to say.

Difficult topic...loving, biblical response

Excellent treatment of a very difficult and painful issue.
With a solid grounding in scripture and a love for those struggling with the issues of same sex attraction the authors do a thorough and careful job of addressing one of the most challenging issues facing Christina today.
