It discusses why some Christians are changing their view toward affirming same-sex relations, addresses some of the strongest affirming arguments, explores a biblical and theological view of transgender and intersex persons, and offers practical advice on how to embody the grace/truth way of Jesus in the context of ministry.

Grace/Truth 2.0: Five More Conversations Every Thoughtful Christian Should Have About Faith, Sexuality \u0026 Gender Reviews

  • Esther Bos

    This is a the second five-part guide for Christian groups regarding faith, sexuality and gender. This is written with kindness and love for Christians of various persuasions about inclusiveness of those who are LGBTQ+ and those who are affirming them in church membership and activity.

    Sprinkle makes his own conservative position clear, but his writing is about as kind and thoughtful as any I have read who hold the same position. He explains the affirming Biblical arguments with kindness and invites open discussion by the church of Christ.

    Grace //Truth 1.0 is Sprinkle's initial five part discussion of the topic, with Biblical references and always with pleas for believers to treat all people lovingly as God's own children regardless of their positions on inclusiveness in church participation and membership.

    In an effort to not write a review that would turn people off from reading it because they’re worried it’ll be too much truth over grace or too much grace over truth, I will leave you with these.

    -“Yes”
    and
    -“I felt God in this Chili’s tonight.”

    Edit: in all spiritually-based books, I take issue with something, whether small or big. If anyone decides to read this based on my review alone, please don’t assume anything hard and fast. :) Rather, ask me what I thought. Let’s dialogue!!

    TLDR: Read it and form your own opinion

  • Angela

    This book is meant to go with 1.0 and also with a video series and a group discussion. Loved the series. Christianity has failed LGBTQ+ people in welcoming and loving them well. This book helped open my eyes to places where I can do better at showing grace to people who sin differently than me. Highly recommend the video/book/group sessions.

  • Jonathan Roberts

    Another good book by Dr Sprinkle. This one has all the big questions in it. I learned a bit but thought a ton. Recommended
