People to Be Loved: Why Homosexuality Is Not Just an… by Preston Sprinkle

One of the better books I've read, not just about homosexuality, but period. It's remarkable how well Preston balances scholarship and empathy, covering both fronts extremely well and bringing them together in one powerful conversation. His ability to listen to and challenge "both sides" is invaluable.

Erasing Hell: What God Said About Eternity, and the… by Francis Chan

I liked this book, and I'd probably give it more like 3.5 stars. Personally, I read it in conversation with Edward Fudge, but Chan and Sprinkle of course had a broader scope. In the theological chapters, they spent more time pushing back against Rob Bell's brand of universalism, and they actually gave annihilationism it's due on several points. At the end of the day, they landed on eternal conscious torment, held up primarily by "eternal punishment" in "eternal fire" in Matthew 25, along with the texts in Revelation 14 and 20. I do think they made fair points, though I also believe Fudge answers those adequately. What Chan does best, however, comes in the latter chapters, as he presses us to realize the personal impacts of hell. He stresses the sovereignty of God and the need to bend the knee to whatever He decrees. It was a much needed reminder to not leave this study on an academic shelf.… (more)

Erasing Hell: What God Said About Eternity, and the… by Francis Chan

thought provoking but only half the book relates directly to the title and doesn't really answer any questions

Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and… by Preston M. Sprinkle

Good survey and honest reflection

While Sprinkle won't expect everyone to agree with his conclusions, his approach is fair, and his opinions are informed. There's a strong emphasis on people over theory, which is helpful.
