In Chapter One, the authors lead the reader through a discussion of each of the six passages traditionally used against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. They demonstrate how an anti-gay interpretation is a misapplication of these scriptures.
In Chapter Two, Miner and Connoley turn our attention to the biblical stories and passages that affirm loving same-sex relationships. Did you know Jesus once met a gay person? Jesus' loving response is just one of the well-researched stories presented in this chapter.
Chapter Three asks readers to take seriously the call of Jesus to think more deeply about biblical rules.
And Chapter Four calls Christians to action, making a connection between the conflicts in the early Church and those occurring within the Church today.
This book belongs in the library of any Christian questioning the role of Scripture in the lives of gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, or the role of GLB people in the Church.

User Reviews about The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships
This is a very good simple explanation of the theology of Christian gay people. For those who need to get some basic information of where they are coming from - it is very helpful. -- the Children are free
This book examines the 6 "clobber" passages in the bible towards GLBT people, as well as discusses several same sex relationships also in the bible. I think both sides of this debate should read this book, praying that the truth within would be revealed to the reader. -- Very eye opening
This is a most excellent book. It is not dry or boring, and makes for an interesting read. It contains both real stories about real people as well as theological evidence. It is one of the better books on the subject. -- Must read!
This book is excellent for anyone desiring to know what our Lord thinks about us who are gay. A must read. -- Biblically sound
