<\/p>\n
Throughout my blogging career, as I’ve turned my library card and reading time to different questions, I’ve compiled bibliographies of books I’ve read or intend to read about different topics. Thus far, I’ve scribbled lists on:<\/p>\n
This blog post, I hope, will be another living bibliography.<\/p>\n
I have placed the ‘bibliography’ in alphabetical order of the Author’s surname. I have further divided the various resources into i – Books, i.a – Books by SSA\/LGBT* Christians, iii – Bibles\/Biblical Commentaries and iv – articles and Blog posts (incomplete)<\/strong>. It goes without saying that a books inclusion here does not imply I agree with all or any of its contents. In fact, I believe we will only ‘get anywhere’ on this topic by reading deeply and widely. Where a book’s title is hyperlinked, that link reflects a link to my own review of that book. This review is compiled by me, a young (White, male, cis, married, English) evangelical theology graduate\u00a0in the Vineyard Movement who happens to work in Digital Marketing, and reflects that. Any and all recommendations are more than welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n i – Books<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Bell, Rob, Sex God<\/em>, (Collins, London, 2012) i.a -Books by Gay Christians\/Christians who identify as Same-sex attracted\/LGBT* (a variety of perspectives\/interpretations)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Allberry, Sam, Is God anti-gay? And other questions about homosexuality, the Bible and same-sex attraction<\/em><\/a>, (The Good Book Company, Croydon, 2013) i.b – Specifically \u2018Anglican\u2019 multi-perspective volumes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Ed., Bradshaw, Timothy, The Way Forward<\/em>, (SCM, London, 2003) iii – Bibles and Biblical Commentaries<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This, in contrast to the preceding sections, echoes only what I have read, and my textual focus has been on the New Testament texts. Naturally, other texts should be studied. As well as dabbling with the New Testament in Greek when appropriate, I use some Hebrew tools but can’t personally read it. Translations I’ve used, or editions of the Bible, include:\u00a0<\/span>The ESV Study Bible,\u00a0<\/span>Holman Christian Standard Bible,\u00a0<\/span>New Revised Standard Version,\u00a0<\/span>Greek New Testament,\u00a0<\/span>The Interlinear Bible<\/span><\/p>\n Romans – A sample of what I’ve read\/recommend<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Barrett, C.
