'This book does the important work of busting the myth that there is one Evangelical perspective on the matter of human sexuality and Christian faith. It will be a balm for those Christians and church leaders who have felt they must choose between their evangelical faith and their desire to recognise all God's children as full members of the Church, and even more, for those excluded from evangelical spaces because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is bold and brave and crucial in these times, especially for those least likely to want to read it.' -- Selina Stone 'Informative, inspiring and at times, deeply moving, this timely book will surely give confidence to evangelicals who are tired of being told that their theology of inclusion is wrong, and the courage to stand up for what they believe.' -- Charlotte Gale The story of Inclusive Evangelicals has been a welcome incursion of hope into a narrative that too often focusses on negativity. Evangelical and Inclusive brings together allies and LGBTQ+ voices who share a common faith in Jesus, a common understanding of that faith, and a common desire to encourage and to bless the wider church community. I particularly loved Rachel Humphreys' chapter, but the whole book is a generous contribution to a church and a world that needs more godly kindness like this. -- Marcus Green 'A persons attitude towards LGBTQ+ relationships is often a defining factor for membership in evangelical Christian circles. Many evangelicals holding a principled, biblical support for people in same-sex relationships can find themselves marginalised in their church community or feel they must remain silent for fear of exclusion. Evangelical and Inclusive moves beyond the tired and familiar arguments to provide witness from evangelicals who have embraced an inclusive theological outlook from within biblical evangelicalism. It is a refreshing resource for those who want to explore this area more deeply, whether to find solidarity with other inclusive evangelical voices or wishing to understand how committed evangelicals can hold to an LGBTQ+ affirming theology.' -- Nic Tall 'Evangelical and Inclusive takes us beyond well-trodden debates over interpretations of specific texts, and instead offers a rich banquet of diverse, thoughtful and thought-provoking contributions. These range from exploring how inclusive evangelicals are part of the history of an evangelical tradition committed to mission, through an offering of a global perspective, through to lessons from historic abuse cases in the church, through to accounts of personal experience, through to examining the Biblical approach of good fruit. Combining the accessible, the theological, the critical and the spiritual is rare, but this volume accomplishes that. All evangelicals will benefit from reading this book.' -- Jonathan Tallon
