New Book: The Christian Church’s LGBTQ Failure

Move toward a Biblical Approach of Speaking the Truth in Love

In a world as divisive as ours, can Christians ever find middle ground on LGBTQ+ issues?

Perhaps, if you’re willing to marry Biblical truths with grace and love in a nonjudgmental way that the extremes on both sides of the aisles have failed to do in the past.

The Christian Church's LGBTQ Failure: Move toward a Biblical Approach of Speaking the Truth in Love

Peter DeHaan, a lifelong student of the Bible, does just that in The Christian Church’s LGBTQ Failure. He won’t be politically correct, but he will be Biblically correct. And he certainly isn’t afraid to speak hard truths even if it makes people uncomfortable.

His goal is to see Christians like you push past the status quo and reconsider how you practice your faith in every area of your life, including how you handle LGBTQ+ issues.

If you’re looking for a dozen reasons why churches should judge and shun LGBTQ+ people, this book isn’t for you.

But it also isn’t for readers who want to embrace a progressive stance that places secular ideals over entire passages of Scripture to be more palatable for today’s politically correct society.

In a world marked by so much division, The Christian Church’s LGBTQ Failure forces conservative Christians to examine their history of judgmentalism while still upholding Biblical standards of sexual purity and marital sanctity.

And the book urges liberal Christians to reclaim the Bible as their ultimate guide instead of elevating worldly ideals.

In this thought-provoking, insightful book, Peter DeHaan encourages Christians to speak hard truths in love.

With sensitivity and empathy, Peter combines Biblical doctrine as well as Christian grace in a volume that’s critical reading for thoughtful believers on both sides of this debate.

For a reasonable, grace-filled conversation about how loving, Bible-believing Christians should respond to LGBTQ+ people and their allies, read The Christian Church’s LGBTQ Failure.

The Christian Church’s LGBTQ Failure is available in ebook, audiobook, paperback, and hardcover. Get your copy today.

PhD Dissertation

The Convergent Church: Moving Toward the Unity for Which Jesus Prayed

Church Research Now Available

WARNING: The Convergent Church is a PhD dissertation (2012) and contains academic research.

Author Peter DeHaan writes about biblical Christianity

It’s made available primarily to aid others who are conducting their own research on the future of the Christian Church. If this is what you seek, here’s an overview:

Contemporary Christianity has arguably made the same mistakes today as the Pharisees and Sadducees made two thousand years ago.

The Pharisees added many human-made rules and traditions to the Bible, while the Sadducees reduced Scripture to only the Law of Moses, ignoring the rest of the Old Testament.

Similarly, modern Christians have created their own traditions that either override or limit biblical truth, neglecting important teachings from the New Testament.

This dilutes the authority of God’s word. This theological foundation of the contemporary church is neither biblically nor historically valid, leading to numerous practices that conflict with biblical principles.

Most of today’s Christianity stems from the Reformation, but as it happened over 500 years ago, a new major movement is on the horizon. This work will explore present-day revolutionary developments in comparison to the Protestant Reformation.

The question is, will this revolution result in further division, as historical evidence suggests, or will it bring about greater unity among followers of Jesus? Will we witness a convergence of our faith?
