But
What
About…
A NEW BOOK
from Colby
Ten years after the release of his bestselling book, UnClobber, pastor and author Colby Martin is back with a revolutionary follow-up.
Inspired by the earnest questions of those on the journey toward full LGBTQ inclusion, But What About… is the next step for those needing more than just an exploration of the clobber passages.
But What About… builds a framework for reading the Bible that’s both intellectually honest and spiritually liberating, proving that inclusion is not a departure from the Christian faith,
but rather its truest expression.

The Most Asked Questions on Faith, the Bible, and LGBTQ Inclusion 〰️
only two genders?
Adam and Eve?
biblical marriage?
ex-gay stories?
“love the sinner, hate the sin?”
and all the other
most asked questions.
Even after the Clobber Passages are dealt with, many people still have questions.
Questions that keep them one or two steps shy of becoming fully affirming of LGBTQ people.
These are the questions that flood my inbox and get asked at my events.
I call them the “But What Abouts…”
And they are good questions.
Deserving of good responses.
My next book, “But What About: The Most Asked Questions on Faith, the Bible, and LGBTQ Inclusion” (Nov 17 from St Martin’s Press) is about the fact that not only is the Bible not anti-LGBTQ,
but actually,
when taken to its logical conclusion,
following Jesus inevitably leads to full inclusion.
In other words,
Affirming LGBTQ people,
as a Christian,
simply makes sense.
