Episode 39: 'Male & Female God Created Them: A Biblical Review of LGBTQ+ Claims' (Dr. Rubel Shelly)

Few changes in popular culture are causing more discomfort and raising more questions in the church than how the LGBTQ+ lifestyle is going mainstream in North America. It's not just outside the church. Over the last 20 years, Christians who accept and even approve at least parts of the LGBTQ+ lifestyle increased from next to none to almost one in three today. For this reason, prominent biblical scholar and congregational leader Dr. Rubel Shelly wrote his latest book, 'Male & Female God Created Them: A Biblical Review of LGBTQ+ Claims.' In this episode, Dr. Shelly answers questions about his new book and the scholarship and thinking that went into its conclusions.  Link to archive of Christian Chronicle reports and stories on LGBTQ+ issuesLink to Male & Female God Created Them: A Biblical Review of LGBTQ+ Claims by Dr. Rubel Shelly (College Press)View the full archive of stories at christianchronicle.orgDonate to The Christian Chronicle at christianchronicle.org/donateSend comments, ideas, and questions to [email protected], LGBTQ+, Rubel Shelly, Male & Female God Created Them, book, College Press, Bible, God, Jesus, church, congregations, popular culture, marriage, relationships, family, gender, sex, sexuality, homosexuality, gay, straight, trans, traditional family, gender roles, questioning, same sex, same sex attraction, same sex marriage, bigot, bigotry, hate, accountability, salvation issue, single, chastity, purity, Luke Timothy Johnson, Onanism, universal morals, creation order, creation, purity, nature of God, Leviticus, holiness, Genesis 1-2, affirming, welcoming not affirming, The Ink is Dry, lesbian, Holiness Codes, Apostle Paul, BT Irwin
