For centuries, LGBTQ+ people have carried wounds inflicted in the name of faith. Apologies: An Apology to the LGBTQ+ Community is a courageous theological reckoning—and a hopeful invitation to healing, justice, and transformation. Written by theologian David Paul, this powerful work confronts the Church’s long history of exclusion while reclaiming the Gospel’s deeper message of love, dignity, and belonging. Drawing from Scripture, history, psychology, and lived experience, the book offers both confession and restoration—naming harm honestly while pointing toward a more faithful future. This book is for: LGBTQ+ individuals seeking healing from religious trauma Christians wrestling with faith and inclusion Parents, allies, and church leaders searching for compassionate guidance Congregations ready to move from apology to action Through careful scholarship and pastoral insight, David Paul reexamines misunderstood biblical passages, exposes the roots of theological harm, and presents a vision of Christianity grounded in justice, mercy, and radical welcome. More than an apology, this book is a call: to listen deeply to repent sincerely to love more fully If the Church is to become a place of healing again, the journey begins here.
