Published in association with the Inclusive Evangelicals network, a growing network of evangelicals who work for the full inclusion of LGBT+ people and their relationships in the life of the church, this insightful and timely book presents a fresh perspective on evangelical life, faith, and understanding within the Church of England. Reflecting on the work of the network, Evangelical and Inclusive sets today’s debates within the broader story of evangelical history and identity. It explores fresh approaches to the understanding and interpreting of the scriptures, offers pastoral, doctrinal and theological reflections, and includes moving personal and community stories of faith journeying towards inclusion. Insightful and timely, the book offers a forward-looking exploration of the identity and core convictions of this diverse, creative and dynamic tradition. It is an essential read for those seeking fresh perspectives on evangelical life, faith, and understanding within the challenges of today’s church.

David Runcorn

David Runcorn is a founding convenor of the Inclusive Evangelicals network. He is a spiritual director, and teaches and writes in areas of ministry and faith, Bible and theology. He is a widely published author, including Love Means Love: Same-Sex Relationships and the Bible.

'A person’s attitude towards LGBTQ+ relationships is often a defining factor for membership in evangelical Christian circles. Many evangelicals holding a principled, biblical support for people in same-sex relationships can find themselves marginalised in their church community or feel they must remain silent for fear of exclusion. Evangelical and Inclusive moves beyond the tired and familiar arguments to provide witness from evangelicals who have embraced an inclusive theological outlook from within biblical evangelicalism. It is a refreshing resource for those who want to explore this area more deeply, whether to find solidarity with other inclusive evangelical voices or wishing to understand how committed evangelicals can hold to an LGBTQ+ affirming theology.'

-- Nic Tall

 

'Evangelical and Inclusive takes us beyond well-trodden debates over interpretations of specific texts, and instead offers a rich banquet of diverse, thoughtful and thought-provoking contributions. These range from exploring how inclusive evangelicals are part of the history of an evangelical tradition committed to mission, through an offering of a global perspective, through to lessons from historic abuse cases in the church, through to accounts of personal experience, through to examining the Biblical approach of ‘good fruit’. Combining the accessible, the theological, the critical and the spiritual is rare, but this volume accomplishes that. All evangelicals will benefit from reading this book.'
