Summary
Changing Our Mind has helped thousands of families and congregations carefully and compassionately rethink traditional religious teachings about full LGBTQ inclusion. Christian denominations and churches everywhere struggle with the issue of LGBTQ inclusion. With growing scientific evidence, our wider society has taken big steps, but too many religious families and communities have not kept up. As much as ever, many people still experience deep condemnation by evangelical and other churches, getting kicked out or altogether leaving.
Dr. David Gushee offers a powerful, inspiring message of hope and healing by helping Christians to return to Bible study, prayer, and reflection in a way that creates a vision for a more inclusive church. From his own careful Bible study, research, and prayer, Gushee takes us along a conversational theological journey. In one book, he concisely marks out every single component of historic Christian sexual morality. He covers all of the relevant biblical passages and all of the theological positions, including the key argument of creation. With a careful study of context and biblical language, he walks us through a principled discussion that is respectful of traditionalists while calling for inclusion and the end of contempt.
This definitive third edition also includes Gushee’s response to critics and a study guide for small group discussion.
Critic reviews
"Deep, thoughtful and brilliant...[and] refreshingly clear and understandable. It is an eminently useful handbook for any individual or organization that wants to better contextualize traditional church teachings, which have been and must continue to change." (Brian McLaren)

This book has helped ME change MY mind
A very well written and thought provoking book, that has helped me over the last 2-3 years change my thinking and my mind on this issue. My challenge now is to put this into practice in and outside my church and be an advocate for the LGBTQ community in Christ.
