Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?

Preston Sprinkle

Share the book!

Many arguments are made for and against same-sex marriage that end with divisiveness and confusion instead of thoughtful conversation. New York Times–bestselling author Dr. Preston Sprinkle provides a resource that will encourage respectful and thoughtful conversations around the question “Does the Bible support same-sex marriage?”

Equipped with thorough research, history, and biblical context, this book will enable you to wade into some of the main arguments against the historically Christian view of marriage:

The biblical writers didn’t know about sexual orientation.
Jesus never mentions homosexuality.
Biblical teachings about women, slavery, and same-sex are on the same trajectory.
Since some people are born gay, then being gay must be okay.
The Bible has been mistranslated.

Preston carefully answers 21 of the strongest cases for same-sex marriage and offers a humanizing and thoughtful response to each one.

“For any conversation to go anywhere, what we need is not only compassion but clarity. Preston displays both in his ministry and especially in this resource. His lived experience with the LBGTQ community along with the theological depth he holds makes this book a necessity.”

“If we care about people, then we must be thinking critically, theologically, and extremely lovingly about the issues of sexuality today. How do we know what is true or not? As emotional human beings, we are easily swayed by watching enough ninety-second convincing TikTok videos which may or may not be true. In this book we have a guide to sorting through and looking at big questions based on very important and trustworthy Bible study methods and a premise that all the Scriptures are all inspired by God. But not only do we have the theology and depth behind the answers given, we also have pastoral, sensitive, kind, and caring responses. I am extremely grateful for this book.”
