The Christian Argument For Gays And Lesbians In The Military by John Jesse Carey

This collection features six essays from prominent mainline Protestant theologians who build a rigorous theological case for the fundamental human rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, including the right to military service.

The text highlights a stark divergence in modern Christianity: one side defends the ethics of committed queer relationships, while the other remains mired in traditionalist debates over individual acts. This profound gap between liberal Protestant and Roman Catholic perspectives on sexuality has evolved into a definitive, church-dividing conflict.

Carey’s work serves as a critical catalyst for theological reflection on how faith traditions address—or fail to address—human identity and civil liberties.
