神恩的扩展:圣经故事中的性別别

A fresh, deeply biblical account of God’s expanding grace and mercy, tracing how the Bible’s narrative points to the full inclusion of LGBTQ people in Christian communities

Discussions of the Bible and human sexuality often focus on a scattered handful of specific passages. But arguments about this same set of verses have reached an impasse, two leading biblical scholars believe; these debates are missing the forest for the trees.

In this learned and beautifully written book, Richard and Christopher Hays explore a more expansive way of listening to the overarching story that scripture tells. They remind us of a dynamic and gracious God who is willing to change his mind, consistently broadening his grace to include more and more people. Those who were once outsiders find themselves surprisingly embraced within the people of God, while those who sought to enforce exclusive boundaries are challenged to rethink their understanding of God’s ways.

The authors—a father and son—point out ongoing conversations within the Bible in which traditional rules, customs, and theologies are rethought. They argue that God has already gone on ahead of our debates and expanded his grace to people of different sexualities. If the Bible shows us a God who changes his mind, they say, perhaps today’s Christians should do the same. The book begins with the authors’ personal experiences of controversies over sexuality and closes with Richard Hays’s epilogue reflecting on his own change of heart and mind.


一本充满深刻启示的圣经故事,讲述了上帝不断扩展的恩典和慈悲,追溯了圣经叙事如何指向基督教社区中LGBTQ人士的全面包容。 关于圣经与人类性欲的话题通常集中在一些零散的具体经文上。但两位资深圣经学者认为,围绕着这同一组经文的争论陷入了僵局;人们在讨论具体经文时忽略了它们背后的宏大叙事。 在这本学识渊博且优美写作的书中,理查德和克里斯托弗·哈斯探索了一种更为宽广的方式来倾听圣经所讲述的整体故事。他们提醒我们一个充满活力而有恩典的上帝愿意改变主意,一直扩大他的恩典以包容越来越多的人。那些曾经是边缘人士现在发现自己被神的子民意外接纳,而那些试图维护排他性界限的人则被迫重新审视他们的理解,关于上帝的做法。 作者是一对父子,他们指出了圣经中持续进行的对话,在这种对话中传统的规则、习俗和教义正在重新思考。他们认为上帝已经在我们的辩论之前行动了,并已经扩展了他的恩典至不同的性倾向者身上。若圣经展示了一个能够改变主意的上帝,作者们说,那么今天的基督徒或许也应该这样做。这本书从作者们的个人性议题争论开始,以理查德·哈斯的后记结束,回顾了他自己的心路历程和转变。
