“GC101 is so powerful and biblically and historically sound, that it will set the church's anti-gay doctrine on its head.Anti-gay theologians no longer have the Bible to hide their personal biases behind.
I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone seeking the fully circumspect biblical truth about homosexuality.”
-Rev Jim Cunningham, Founder, Gay Christian Survival Group.
Rev. Troy Perry, Founder of MCC, recommends our new book. "Rick Brentlinger's new book, GC101 - Spiritual Self-Defense for Gay Christians, is a must-have book for any person who is seriously interested in what the Bible really says about homosexuality.It is a wonderful intelligent book for any person who is seeking answers to the continued debate around the Bible and human sexuality. Rick knocks the ball out of the park with his knowledge of Scripture and his love for the Bible.
If I could only afford to purchase one book this year, this would be it! Rick, you've done an incredible job.”
About Gay Christian 101
- In his powerful new book, Independent Baptist minister Rick Brentlinger persuasively argues that on the issue of homosexuality, the church has it wrong. In crisp, readable language, Brentlinger lays out the case from culture, history, linguistics and scripture, for full acceptance in church and society, of gay and lesbian people.
- Gay Christian 101 presents fascinating historical proof that our ancient Jewish and Christian ancestors did not view the Biblical texts as universal indictments of homosexuality.
- Many who were once cast out - women, people of color, divorced and remarried people - are leaders in the modern church. Gay Christian 101 argues that the trajectory of Biblical truth also supports full inclusion of GLBT believers in the spiritual life of the church.
- Brentlinger makes his case by quoting BC references to Sodom, by paying careful attention to the context of the clobber passages and by noting how ancient Jewish believers understood those passages and giving the quotes. In the chapter dealing with the Levitical Holiness Code, eighteen variant interpretations are offered.
- A particularly interesting, ground-breaking section is the Gay Analogy chapter. Taking up a challenge from anti-gay author Dr. Robert Gagnon, that any Biblical analogy for homosexual relationships must closely correspond in particular details (including life-long sexual activity), Brentlinger presents five new, scriptural, gay analogies which strongly support full inclusion of gay and lesbian Christians in the modern church.
- In the New Testament section of Gay Christian 101, a strong historical case is made that eunuchs in ancient times included gay men and lesbians and that Jesus pointed out this fact to His disciples when He specifically excluded eunuchs from participating in Adam and Eve style marriage in Matthew 19:3-12.
- In another chapter, particular attention is paid to the story of the gay Centurion, his meeting with Jesus and Jesus' declaration that the faith of the Centurion exceeds any faith Jesus observed in Israel.
- The arguments for a limited interpretation of Romans 1:26-27 vs. the traditional view that this passage condemns all homosexual practice, are compelling. Besides listing 15 variant interpretations of the Romans passage, Brentlinger demonstrates from history and scripture, that the traditional view of Romans and homosexuality is simply wrong.
- Many modern scholars are absolutely convinced that I Cor 6:9 and I Tim 1:10, use the Greek word arsenokoitai to condemn all homosexual practice. They frequently use Greek lexicons to support that viewpoint. Brentlinger goes beyond Greek lexicons to the ancient sources cited in the lexicons and lists the first 56 historical uses of the arsenokoit stem to prove that the arsenokoit stem was never used in ancient times as a general reference to homosexual practice.
- What many traditionalists find irritating about this book is that Brentlinger cites the written views of conservative, evangelical heterosexual scholars to support the points he makes throughout Gay Christian 101.
- Gay Christian 101 is a fascinating conversation about history, theology and God's truth about gays and lesbians. If you are gay or lesbian or have a loved one who is, this book will help you reconcile the gospel truth that one can be both gay or lesbian and a Bible believing Christian.
- Gay Christian 101 is essential reading for everyone concerned with the future of a church torn by the homosexual debate.
The author, Rick Brentlinger, has served as a Bible-believing Independent Baptist minister, Bible Institute Instructor and Church Planting Missionary.He writes from the position of believing that every word of scripture is the word of God. He now ministers to the gay & lesbian community.
