Male and Female God Created Them: A Biblical Review of LGBTQ+ Claims

Rubel Shelly has given us a gift. In a time when a growing number of authors are working to rewrite biblical truths to suit the cultural moment, Shelly has written a thoroughly researched work directly addressing what Scripture says, and doesn't say, about LGBTQ issues. What many readers will find most refreshing is that the author expertly combines the meticulousness of a scholar with a pastor's heart. The contentious issues of our day demand that we take seriously the need to engage with a balance of both grace and truth. That balance is on full display in this book.

Ozark Christian College\nThis rich and robust work upholds the sexual ethic that has marked Christian faith overwhelmingly for two thousand years. It is both scholarly and pastoral, with more than fifty years of pastoral ministry behind it. A particularly important feature is the three chapters surveying recent historical work on same-sex behavior in the Greco-Roman world. This evidence counters the frequent claim that the biblical texts prohibiting homosexuality are referring to abusive and exploitative behavior and that biblical writers did not know of—and thus did not condemn—committed and loving relationships. This book will challenge and enlighten all who read it with an open mind.

He is the author of several books, including I Just Want to Be a Christian, Marriage & Divorce: A Redemptive Theology, and I Knew Jesus Before He Was a Christian.\nEndorsements from: Jimmy Adcox Dr. Leonard Allen James D.

This is a compelling study of Jesus and his exemplary servant-leadership. Dr. Mark Moore presents six Master Leader attributes: Identity, Vision, Mission, Values, Strategy, and Habits. Woven throughout these six chapters are 15 Master Leader Principles. With practical application in each chapter, this study is ideal for both personal growth and for small groups. There is no doubt that Jesus of Nazareth has had more impact on our globe than any other human in history. So it is only natural that we would look to him for a model of leadership ... because he embodied the enduring attributes of great leadership. My agenda is simple and straightforward. As a biblical historian I want to introduce Jesus through the lens of six leadership attributes. -Mark Moore - From the Overview
