People love our helpful
and informative book!
“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.”
What Is Gay Christian 101?
In his fascinating 390 page book, author Rick Brentlinger persuasively argues that on the issue of homosexuality, the Christian church has it wrong. In crisp, readable language, Brentlinger lays out the case from culture, history, linguistics and scripture, for full inclusion in church and society, of gay and lesbian people.
Gay Christian 101 presents convincing proof from history that our Jewish and Christian ancestors did not view the Biblical texts as universal indictments of homosexuality.
Many downtrodden groups who once were cast out - women, people of color, divorced and remarried individuals - now lead the modern church. Gay Christian 101 argues that the trajectory of Biblical truth also supports full acceptance of GLBT Christians in the spiritual life of the church.
Brentlinger makes a strong case by quoting BC references to Sodom, by carefully noting the context of the clobber passages and by demonstrating how ancient Jewish believers understood those passages and giving the quotes. In the chapter dealing with the Levitical Holiness Code, eighteen variant historical interpretations of the famous clobber passage are offered.
In the particularly interesting Gay Analogy chapter, Brentlinger takes up a challenge from anti-gay author Dr. Robert Gagnon, that any Bible analogy for homosexual relationships must closely correspond in particular details (including life-long sexual activity). Brentlinger provides five brand new, scriptural, gay analogies which strongly support full inclusion of gay and lesbian Christians in the modern church.
It is frequently asserted that Jesus was silent about homosexuality. Brentlinger contradicts this assertion, providing insight on a fascinating passage of scripture - Matthew 19:3-12 - where Jesus takes a strong affirming stance on homosexuals. Gay Christian 101 makes a strong historical case that eunuchs in ancient times included gay men and lesbians. In Matthew 19:3-12, Jesus pointed out this fact to His disciples when He specifically excluded eunuchs from participating in Adam and Eve style marriage.
Many Christians have never heard the story of the gay Centurion, his meeting with Jesus and Jesus' declaration that the faith of the gay Centurion exceeds any faith Jesus observed in Israel. Some will find this examination of Matthew 8:5-13 shocking yet informative and persuasive.
Perhaps the most famous "anti-gay" passage in the New Testament is Romans 1:26-27. Besides listing 15 variant interpretations, Brentlinger demonstrates from history and scripture, that the traditional anti-gay view of Romans is simply wrong. His arguments for a limited interpretation of Romans 1:26-27 are powerful and compelling.
Some modern scholars are absolutely convinced that 1 Cor 6:9 and 1 Tim 1:10, use the Greek word arsenokoites to condemn all homosexual practice. These scholars quote Greek lexicons to support their viewpoint. In Gay Christian 101, Brentlinger goes beyond Greek lexicons to the ancient sources cited in the lexicons.
His list of the first 56 historical uses of arsenokoites proves that no ancient author ever used arsenokoites to refer to two men or two women in committed, faithful, non-cultic partnership.
What traditionalists find irritating about this book is that Brentlinger cites the written opinions of conservative, evangelical heterosexual scholars to support the points he makes throughout Gay Christian 101.
Gay Christian 101 tells the fascinating true story of God's powerful love for gay people. 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 and an authentic Bible believing Christian.
Gay Christian 101 includes 286 footnotes to document our conclusions and to help you do additional study on your own.
Gay Christian 101 will help to heal, encourage and challenge many gay and lesbian hearts to embrace their God-given sexual orientation and serve the Lord with gladness.
Gay Christian101 is essential reading for everyone interested in the future of a church torn by the gay and lesbian 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.
