Publisher's Summary
Celebrate queer faith and take your rightful place at God’s table with Brandan Robertson, the “TikTok Pastor,” Biblical scholar, and social activist
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 a book that offers:
-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.
Critic Reviews
"Brandan Robertson is fearless and one of the clearest voices on faith and LGBTQ+ inclusion. This book is essential for anyone seeking to reconcile their spirituality with their identity."—Don Lemon, host of The Don Lemon Show and author of I Once Was Lost
"This book is an invitation to all Christians to ponder deeply the essential message of the Bible, the essential commandment to all Christians: love one another as God loves us. There is no space for homophobia."—Dr. Mary McAleese, Eighth President of Ireland and Chancellor of Trinity College Dublin
“Through scholarship, research, and perspective, this book challenges the defensive statements evangelicals have historically used to weaponize scripture and abuse queer people. Anyone seeking a more loving God should read this book.”—Tia Levings, author of A Well-Trained Wife
