Celebrate queer faith and take your rightful place at God’s table with Brandan Robertson, the “TikTok Pastor,” Biblical scholar, and social activist
For too long, the Bible has been weaponized to exclude LGBTQ+ individuals, despite Jesus’ radical message of inclusion. In Queer & Christian, Brandan Robertson envisions a faith where all are unequivocally embraced.
Ostracized at school, Brandan thought he had finally found his community when he joined the local church. But he soon realized that they were as intolerant as his peers at school had been—if not more so. After agonizing years of repressing his true identity, he discovered that God’s table had always had a place for him. Jesus’ love knows no bounds, embracing everyone unconditionally.
Queer & Christian is a joyful celebration of queer faith and an unyielding reclamation of the Bible. Dive into pages that offer:
-Compelling, evidence-based counterarguments to the “clobber verses” often used to condemn queerness
-Celebrations of queer saints within the Bible—more numerous than you might believe!
-Responses to commonly asked questions by queer folks and allies who’re feeling lost within the Christian faith
Brandan Robertson stands as a beacon of love, hope, and unwavering support for anyone ready to reclaim their faith from the clutches of intolerance.
“This book is a lifeline for those seeking to reconcile their faith with their true selves, and a must-read for anyone committed to justice and fierce love.” -Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, author of Fierce Love and Senior Minister & Public Theologian at Middle Church
"Rev. Brandan Robertson's Queer and Christian is a validating and life-saving guide that not only empowers queer Christians but also offers hope for a more inclusive future in the church." -Rev. Karla Kamstra, author of Deconstructing and TikTok’s Rev. Karla
"Robertson masterfully rereads numerous passages from the Bible in ways that are sensitive to both its ancient contexts and the need for queer folks today to find themselves within its pages. Queer and Christian reclaims for queer Christians the prerogative to do what all Christians before them have done: read the Bible in ways that make it powerful, useful, and meaningful to them." -Dr. Dan McClellan, TikTok scholar and Honorary Fellow, Edward Cadbury Centre, University of Birmingham
