About this episode

Two same-sex attracted Christians discuss their differing views on sexuality and marriage within Christianity.

Can Christians affirm gay relationships? Two same-sex attracted Christians join Justin Brierley to discuss why they disagree on sexuality, marriage, celibacy and scripture. Matthew Vines is the author of 'God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships'. He represents the 'Side A' view that faithful monogamous gay marriage can be affirmed by orthodox Christians. David Bennett is the author of 'A War Of Loves' and forthcoming books 'Queering the Queer in Contemporary Theology' and 'Beyond Compromise'. He represents the 'Side B' view that heterosexual marriage is God's design for sex, and that LGBT Christians are called to celibacy and friendship.
