UnClobber
Expanded Edition with Study Guide: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality
Ratings1
Average rating5
Armed with only six passages in the Bible—often known as the "Clobber Passages"—the conservative Christian position has been one that stands against the full inclusion of our LGBTQ siblings. UnClobber reexamines each of those frequently quoted passages of Scripture, alternating with author Colby Martin's own story of being fired from an evangelical megachurch when they discovered his stance on sexuality. UnClobber reexamines what the Bible says (and does not say) about homosexuality in such a way that sheds divine light on outdated and inaccurate assumptions and interpretations. This new edition equips study groups and congregations with questions for discussion and a sermon series guide for preachers.

I read the first edition of this book a few years ago and this expanded edition is even better. The language has been updated to be more inclusive of trans and non-binary people. There is also an afterward now where Colby talks about things he wishes he knew when he originally wrote and published the book.
The new study guide with questions for small group discussion is a helpful addition as well. I usually recommend God and the Gay Christian by Matthew Vines first, but UnClobber is a close second.
