**“How can I be faithful to Scripture and show my gay friends and neighbors the love of Jesus? How can I love without compromise?”**
Wherever Dr. David Bennett, a gay man whose life as an activist was upended by an encounter with God, speaks, he hears that question more than any other. _Beyond Compromise_ is his answer.
Drawing on his work as an Oxford theologian and his own life as a celibate gay Christian, David shows that the biblical vision of sexuality is not a list of prohibitions but a story about love, one that reorders every human desire toward the Kingdom of God. David, whose story is told in his bestselling book _A War of Loves,_ tackles the hardest questions head-on:
* does the Bible really give clear answers about sexuality, and why does it matter so much? * how can I share my convictions with my friends in the LGBTQ+ community without losing them? Or should I stay silent? * what practical steps can my church take to love gay people well while remaining faithful to God? * I'm gay and I follow Jesus. What does faithfulness look like for me, and can it be a life of fullness rather than loss?
You don’t have to choose between faithfulness and love. _Beyond Compromise_ shows the way to both. Includes an afterword by N.T. Wright.
