Rachel Gilson has written a beautiful book. It is theological compelling, pastorally sensitive to the LGBTQIA community, and it erupts and overflows with Gospel-hope. @RachelGilson 👏🏿🙌🏿👏🏿

My super smart friend @RachelGilson makes some super important observations from her reading of @TheAlanNoble’s super interesting book. The whole thing is just super. https://t.co/3OtNISfA8p
Next in the @henry_center symposium on @TheAlanNoble's You Are Not Your Own: @RachelGilson. This is a careful, nuanced appropriation of Noble's argument for a tough issue. Worth your time to engage.
