“Is God Anti-Gay?” addresses one of the most controversial and sensitive issues within contemporary Christianity: the Bible’s stance on homosexuality and the experiences of Christians with same-sex attraction. Allberry, who himself experiences same-sex attraction, provides a personal and pastoral perspective, aiming to offer clarity, compassion, and biblical faithfulness on the subject.

1. Personal Story: Allberry begins by sharing his own story, describing his experience with same-sex attraction and how he reconciles it with his Christian faith. This personal introduction sets the tone for a compassionate and understanding discussion.

2. Biblical Examination: Allberry explores key biblical texts that address homosexuality, including passages from both the Old and New Testaments. He explains the historical and cultural contexts of these passages and provides interpretations that align with traditional Christian teachings.

3. God’s Design for Sexuality: The book discusses the broader biblical vision for human sexuality, marriage, and relationships. Allberry emphasizes that sex is intended to be enjoyed within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.

4. Common Objections: Allberry addresses common objections and questions, such as whether the Bible’s teachings are outdated, whether they harm individuals, and how Christians can uphold these teachings while loving their LGBTQ+ neighbors.

5. Practical Advice: The latter part of the book offers practical guidance for Christians experiencing same-sex attraction, as well as advice for churches on how to be welcoming and supportive without compromising biblical convictions.
