Author: Gene Robinson
Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, here clearly defines why gay marriage matters. He begins by explaining why civil unions aren’t enough, continues with an explanation of Old Testament scriptures as a history of time and place, and ends with incisive interpretations of scripture that show us that Jesus would see the way some treat families of choice, women, and gay men is simply wrong. This sounds as if it would be dry and difficult—it isn’t. Robinson’s arguments are straightforward, and his writing easy to read. Give this book to anyone truly trying to understand what the Bible says about marriage. Alfred A. Knopf (randomhouse.com).— by Angel Curtis
