But What About . . .

A bold, compassionate call to embrace LGBTQ inclusion as the truest expression of Christian faith. For centuries, debates over LGBTQ inclusion in the church have turned on a single question: But what about what the Bible says? In But What About…, pastor and author Colby Martin—whose bestselling book Unclobber helped reframe how Christians understand key “clobber passages”—takes readers deeper. With clarity and precision, he examines what Scripture actually says (and doesn’t say) about topics like marriage, gender, and sexuality, and shows how long-standing interpretations have missed the cultural, linguistic, and theological context of the text itself. Written in a tone that’s smart, accessible, and deeply rooted in biblical scholarship, But What About… equips readers to understand and articulate a faithful, informed case for inclusion. Martin’s data-driven yet pastoral approach offers a framework for reading the Bible that’s both intellectually honest and spiritually liberating—one that sees inclusion not as a departure from Christianity, but as its truest expression.
