    God Believes in Love: Straight Talk About Gay Marriage

    About this audiobook

    From Gene Robinson, the Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, the first openly gay person elected (in 2003) to the historic episcopate and the world's leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay marriage, comes a groundbreaking book that lovingly and persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage. It establishes a commonsense, reasoned, religious argument, made by someone who holds the religious text of the Bible to be holy and sacred and the ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion. For the author, same-sex marriage is a very personal issue: he has been married to his partner for the last four years of a twenty-three-year relationship.

    • 4/5
      Robinson's book is a summary that those LGBT folk need of all the arguments for and against our right to love a partner as well as our right to marriage. This would be a great handbook for everyone to have and share.
    • 4/5
      Approachable and winsome survey of gay rights and gay marriage. Not written to the theologian but to the curious inquirer, Christian or not; supporter or not.
    • 4/5
      Disclosure: I received this book through the Goodreads First Reads program.

      I find Robinison to be a fascinating person and an extremely compelling writer. He was able to put into words many of my thoughts on gay marriage. I am Catholic, and my main issue with the church is their prejudice against gay people, so it was refreshing to hear an endorsement from a Bishop.

      I found this book very interesting and was so happy to receive it!
