Loving Homosexuals as Jesus Would: A Fresh Christian Approach by Chad W. Thompson

Oct 07, Adam Ross rated it it was ok. While the book contained a lot of helpful work on how Christians ought to treat gays, it is ultimately hindered by following the essentially discredited "reparative theropy" model of the ex-gay movement. Thompson does not appear to make a distinction between orientation and behavior, however, claiming that reparative theropy can change orientation. While there is some success with such theropy helping to overcome sexual addiction and other sexually compulsive behaviors, there is no evidence to s While the book contained a lot of helpful work on how Christians ought to treat gays, it is ultimately hindered by following the essentially discredited "reparative theropy" model of the ex-gay movement.

See a Problem?

While there is some success with such theropy helping to overcome sexual addiction and other sexually compulsive behaviors, there is no evidence to suggest one's basic orientation has been altered in any of those seeking treatment. As a self-identified gay - or ex-gay - man, Thompson claims following the treatment claims of Moberly et al has eased his own attractions to men, and I have no intention of disparaging that experience. Nevertheless, he admits the success is temporary and fleeting, which suggests that reparative therooy might in some remote instances provide temporary success.

But far more have no success at all, and the glib and simplistic origins of same-sex attraction posited by Moberly and her ilk cannot fully account, or account for the majority, of same-sex attractions. There is a lot of good in the book, but because it offers false hope uncritically from dubious or debunked theories, I can't really recommend it.

Sep 22, Tim rated it really liked it. This book was amazing. Autobiographical yet not restricted to one guy's perspective - very thorough, honest, hopeful. I'm working on an upcoming teaching for our church right now on how Christians have done such an awful job of talking about the sin aspect of homosexuality without offering much compassion or acceptance in the process.

This book has been super helpful in shaping how we can talk about this topic in ways that are full of grace and truth. Jan 29, Jenna Berthoud rated it it was amazing. Really a healthy way for those of us within the church that need a corrected way of interacting with anyone who makes choices other than what we think is the way in which we should relate to God.

Wrong or right is separate from love. Christ evidence this in loving us before we turn to him. I won't say more because I don't want to have to mark the little spoiler tag. Aug 06, Isaac rated it really liked it. This is an amazing book.

I have worked for and with homosexuals the five years I've lived here permanently. I've had no problem making friends with them, but witnessing to them seemed impossible. We need more books like this. I hope there are more. Aug 03, Amos Tai rated it really liked it. Recommended for ALL Christians!!!

This book will help you move from being a defensive finger-pointer to having your heart broken and understanding how to love and minister to homosexuals without compromising your theology. This book is important reading for anyone concerned about an effective, Christ-like response to our homosexual friends and loved ones.

He challenges both the gay and lesbian community, as well as traditional Christians, to end the 'homophobia' that requires those who experience unwanted same-sex attractions to remain silent and shackled in a world of shame. This new book sounds a clarion call of liberation for all those who feel trapped by their feelings and want to find a way out.

Building bridges between these communities is Chad Thompson's goal-and in this book, he reminds us that those dealing with same-sex attraction need the full embrace of their church communities in order to confront their struggles with emotional transparency and integrity. Chad Thompson gives us practical steps for compassionate outreach, to 'become flesh' as Christ did for us. For too long the church has been straight and late.

Now Chad teaches us how to catch up and set the captives free. I recommend this book. Harvey, OSFS, director of COURAGE "Chad's desire to unite us all in bringing hope and good news to the homosexual community is refreshing, especially his wisdom in how to handle the teaching of homosexuality in our public schools.

The time has come for an honest debate based on truth and compassion for the homosexual. This book will provide the guidance to get there. While the various sides clash over legislation and public opinion, this book reminds us that the real battle is for the eternal souls represented in the GLBT community, and, as Thompson concludes, 'Whoever loves first wins.
