For whatever reason, the comment section dropped a portion of my comment. It appeared at the beginning and read:

Perhaps if you actually opened the Bible, read it, studied it, discussed it, instead of brandishing it as a weapon against your brothers and sisters, you might improve your spelling of such words as “Sodom” and “Gomorrah”. And “Philistines”. And “blasphemy”.

That aside, I don’t see why this book is terribly useful as a theological piece. While it can be interesting to look at the Bible through a different cultural lens (both ancient culture and how it applies and relates to modern culture) to glean more information, we do need to do it accurately against the original text. The way we often read “brothers” as “brothers and sisters” (at least mentally) is a great example of that, because we recognize that, while women were seen by those of Jesus’ time to be lesser than men both culturally and in the languages that culture produced, no child of God is lesser or greater than another.

Anyhow, ALL that aside, we’ve already got a LGBT-inclusive version of the Bible. It’s called THE BIBLE.
