The Truth About Sodom and Gomorrah: What Scholars Know That Preachers Won't Tell You

For centuries, the story of Sodom and Gomorrah has been used as a weapon against LGBTQ people. But what if the interpretation you have been taught is simply wrong? The majority of biblical scholars agree that Genesis 19 is not about the evils of homosexuality. It is about something entirely different: inhospitality, the abuse of power, and the use of sexual violence to dominate and shame outsiders. The Truth About Sodom and Gomorrah takes you on a careful journey through the text, examining: - What Genesis 19 actually says and what it means in its ancient context- The parallel story in Judges 19 and what it reveals about the original- Why the "Lot's daughters" objection misunderstands the nature of sexual assault- What Ezekiel 16:49 and Leviticus 18 and 20 really say about the sin of Sodom- Why Jude 7 is not about homosexuality but about angelic-human intercourse- How identity politics have kept this misinterpretation alive for centuries This book is for anyone who has been hurt by the misuse of this story. It is for anyone who has used it themselves. And it is for anyone who simply wants to understand what the Bible actually says. The truth about Sodom and Gomorrah is not about condemnation. It is about hospitality. It is about justice. It is about welcoming the stranger and protecting the vulnerable. It is time to set the record straight. It is time to do better. Lives depend upon it.
