'This is an enjoyably grown-up book. As such, it is a useful rebuke to the desperate immaturity of the Church of England's official stances on sexuality, but it is also a gift to the wider Christian Church: a call to enrich its mission and to listen more closely to the implications of the Gospel.' -- Diarmaid MacCulloch 'Charlie Bell has written a fine, orthodox Christian book. He is faithful to God's revelation, respectful of Scripture, committed to a good future for the Church. He will not stand for a world where the lives and loves of LGBTQI people are disdained or intellectualised as a subject for "debate". His anger is real and measured and true, placed in a context of divine love and human holiness, like the anger of the biblical Jesus himself. And in the end he points us to a vision of a whole humanity redeemed in Christ; a vision of glory. Very highly recommended!' -- Rt Revd Paul Bayes 'This insightful book is a comprehensive survey of the role of scripture, tradition and reason in understanding what it means to be human and Christian, focusing consistently Christ, human and divine, and on "being human". The author describes it as a call to action - for LGBTQI people, their allies, and the whole people of God. I hope it will be very widely read and pondered: It deserves to be.' -- Rt Revd John Inge
