Book Reviews of Faithful Conversation

Book Review: Faithful Conversation is Faithful Dialogue
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is an excellent beginning for present and future conversations about how we as human beings might understand and love people of different sexualities in response to the love of God found in Jesus. Written by serious bible scholars, each chapter presents and evaluates different perspectives found within the Christian tradition with a Lutheran flavoring.

I highly recommend reading this if you are thoroughly convinced that the Bible is absolutely clear about this issue because this will probably encourage you to reread texts and explore how we read, interpret and make theological decisions. I dare say that Mark Powells chapter on reading the Bible is probably the best and most authoritative out there. He confronts many angles and analyzes this discussion thoroughly, with academic rigor and a delightful tone.

However, this book will best be put to use not in private reading sessions, but public dialogue and thoughtful listening. Through reading, discussing and rethinking I believe the Spirit will create anew in us and bring humanity to a place where faith, hope and love are found and not the present, uneasy brokenness that we seem to be stuck in. May you join in this time of faithful conversation.
