In the original book for which this study guide was created, Walking the Bridgeless Canyon: Repairing the Breach between the Church and the LGBT Community, Baldock uncovers the historical, cultural, medical, and political filters of discrimination through which the LGBT community is seen. With the foundation firmly established, she examines the most controversial filter of all: what the Bible says about same-sex behavior.
The book Walking the Bridgeless Canyon carefully constructs a historical timeline detailing the social, medical, cultural, political, and religious discrimination impacting the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities. It is well researched and academic, yet highly accessible.
This study guide for individuals and groups is for use with the book Walking the Bridgeless Canyon. It assists in removing the lenses and filters through which we view lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and further, how we interpret the six passages of Scripture related to same-sex behavior.
This nine section discussion and study series is suitable for personal or group study. In each session, participants are assigned between 25-80 pages of reading in the main textbook, followed by five pages of review in this guide, and on average nine related questions.
Anyone can lead the study. Though the material may be frequently challenging, the structure is simple to follow.
