5 books every queer Christian (and ally) should read!

  1. The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr- a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives.

  2. UnClobber by Colby Martin- UnClobber reexamines what the Bible says (and does not say) about homosexuality in such a way that sheds divine light on outdated and inaccurate assumptions and interpretations.

  3. When Religion Hurts You: Healing from Religious Trauma and the Impact of High-Control Religion by Laura Anderson- Religious trauma is something that happens far more often than most people realize. But religious trauma is trauma.

  4. Walking The Bridgeless Canyon: Repairing the Breach between the Church and the LGBT community by Kathy Baldock- In this book, Baldock uncovers the historical, cultural, medical, and political filters of discrimination through which the LGBTQ community is seen. With a foundational context firmly established, she examines the most controversial filter of all: what the Bible says about same-sex behavior.
