The Wideness of the Sea

Can you be both evangelical and gay-affirming?

In The Wideness of the Sea, Randal Rauser boldly challenges the assumption that affirming same-sex relationships is incompatible with evangelical faith.

Drawing on Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience, Rauser shows how evangelical identity has always evolved—and why inclusion is not a contradiction, but a faithful possibility. With clarity and compassion, this book invites readers into a thoughtful, honest conversation about faith, sexuality, and the rule of love.
