I’ve been meaning to read this book for years and I’m so glad I’ve finally done it (I’m not that much of a reader, but trying to change that!!). 

This book is written in such an accessible and non-judgemental way, so that whatever your stance is, this book will hopefully resonate with you. 

Matthew Vines takes all the main Bible passages which are used to argue against same-sex marriage and walks us through the original meanings of them in their original contexts. I never quite realised before reading this book how much, for example, misogyny is intertwined with homophobia. Honestly, I am really shocked at how much of the non-affirming Christian narrative is based either off mistranslations of the original scripture or the social norms at the time of writing which are far from relevant to us in the 21st century. 

I am so grateful for this book, and I urge anyone who is curious about this topic to have a read - I cannot emphasise how much I have learnt!
