Publisher's Summary

From Gene Robinson, the Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, the first openly gay person elected (in 2003) to the historic episcopate and the world's leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay marriage, comes a groundbreaking book that lovingly and persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage. It establishes a common-sense, reasoned, religious argument, made by someone who holds the religious text of the Bible to be holy and sacred and the ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion.

For the author, same-sex marriage is a very personal issue: He has been married to his partner for the last four years of a 23-year relationship.

What the critics say

"Robinson grounds his argument in favor of gay rights and gay marriage in the Bible that he loves. . . . Inevitably a controversy stirrer despite the devout tone." ---Library Journal

Refreshing and thoughtful

Really good book. I wanted to hear something that didn't follow the mainstream religious teaching that homosexuality is a sin. Honestly, I've heard the traditional view my whole life, and I've even heard of gay and lesbian people learning to accept themselves but reject the gay lifestyle because they sincerely believe that God does not approve. It was refreshing to hear an alternative view presented that seeks to understand the Bible in a different way as well as appeal to a secular world. The only shortcoming that I have with it is that it does not really address the issue of transgender people and talk about some of the Bible passages related to that. It is primarily focused on gay and lesbian marriage as a civil right, and it does that well.
