Four (and a half) Dialogues on Homosexuality and the Bible explores four different interpretive approaches to biblical texts regarding homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Differences of interpretation are discussed openly, honestly, and charitably. The dialogues' four characters maintain friendship with each other despite their disagreements, and so the book serves as a model of how difficult, potentially divisive conversations on a controversial topic might be conducted. Three of the four perspectives presented for examination are well represented in the existing literature; the fourth is not as familiar and is offered and developed as a proposal for bridging the divide that persists among theologically conservative Christians who honor the authority of Scripture over their thinking and their living.

Ongoing conflict over this issue is destructive of the unity toward which the Bible summons all believers to strive, and so the book includes also a call to create space for one another--both individually and institutionally--for differences in theological conclusions and in community practices.

Each of the dialogues begins with one of the characters telling their personal story regarding their sexuality, continues with that character's case for their view, and concludes with a series of suggested discussion questions.

""Donald Zeyl here offers a creative, engaging, remarkably rigorous imaginary dialogue about key biblical and moral issues associated with LGBTQ inclusion in Christianity. An interesting approach carried out with precision and creativity, bringing fresh energy to a mainly stalemated debate.""
--David P. Gushee, Mercer University

""Four (and a half) Dialogues on Homosexuality and the Bible is a thoughtful discussion of many of the questions surrounding biblical sexuality. Each of the participants inhabits a different view, but all aspire to have their views rooted in the authoritative Scriptures. Although the topic is homosexuality and the Bible, it is really a book about friendship. The characters model the qualities we need in our discussions of difficult topics.""
--Gregory E. Ganssle, Talbot School of Theology

""Whether real or imaginary, these dialogues reflect the reality of where many find themselves today, grappling with the tension between their Bible and their experience. A wonderful resource and stimulus toward greater empathy and toward becoming better informed on the issues.""
--William Loader, Murdoch University, emeritus

""There is not a person I trust more than Don Zeyl to help us learn to have conversations with people rather than about people. Don embodies the compassion of the divine, and his wisdom, grace, and knowledge are unparalleled. His serious theological, philosophical, and ethical work makes him an expert to whom we must listen. This book is a must-read, an imperative read, for those who love the Christian church and their LGBTQ+ loved ones.""
--Nathan Albert, University of Lynchburg
