Summary
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 commonsense, 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 twenty-three-year relationship.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Robinson’s experience as an Episcopal bishop serves him well as
narrator of his book…The compassion in his reading will touch
listeners looking to find a middle ground between their identity and their religion.” —Audiofile
“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
