By providing both theoretical and practical primary research data,
this book gives a spiritual and theological voice to the religious
experiences of persons whom many Christians ostracize as persons
outside of God's blessings and salvation. This study provides that
voice by listening respectfully to some LGBT Christians' stories of
their spiritual experiences and allowing those narratives of their
experiences of God in their lives to be heard, while letting them
speak for themselves, alongside the theoretical-historical
information. Through their experiences of God working in different
ways in their lives, all four research participants were able to
reconcile and integrate their faith with their sexual orientation,
and to arrive at the point of believing that holiness or salvation
and homosexuality are not mutually exclusive. This book treats the
narratives of these same-sex oriented Christians as spiritually
revelatory and thus a contemporary medium of God's revelation in
our post-modern era. It can therefore help us all, homosexual and
heterosexual Christians alike, including those who are struggling
to reconcile their faith and their sexual orientation, to see that
holiness or salvation and homosexuality are not necessarily
mutually exclusive. This book is a sequel to my earlier book,
Blessing Same-Sex Unions: Theological Reflections (2005).
