Synopsis

Dive deep into the transformative power of scripture with The Big Queer Bible Study, a bold, accessible guide that invites you to reclaim the Bible as a source of liberation, affirmation, and love. Written by queer theologian Kevin Garcia, this groundbreaking work dismantles centuries of harmful interpretations and brings a fresh, inclusive lens to biblical texts.

In The Big Queer Bible Study, Kevin Garcia, known for their thought-provoking work Bad Theology Kills and What Makes You Bloom, helps readers navigate the "clobber passages" traditionally used to condemn LGBTQ+ identities. By using a queer-affirming hermeneutic, Kevin guides readers through key biblical texts, uncovering messages of justice, inclusion, and divine love. From the misunderstood story of Sodom and Gomorrah to the affirming recognition of gender diversity in scripture, Garcia's expert interpretation opens up new possibilities for LGBTQ+ Christians to connect with their faith.

This study is designed to empower you to question, interpret, and engage with scripture in a way that honors your experiences. Whether you’re deconstructing harmful beliefs or building a new spiritual practice, The Big Queer Bible Study offers you tools to read the Bible through the lens of love, authenticity, and justice.

What You’ll Find Inside:

• In-depth exploration of the "clobber passages" and how they’ve been misused.
• Affirming interpretations of trans and gender-diverse identities in the Bible.
• A framework for reading scripture beyond prooftexting, with an emphasis on context, culture, and God’s radical love.
• Personal reflections and prayers to guide you as you reclaim your faith.
• A comprehensive resource list for further reading on queer theology and deconstruction.

Kevin Garcia brings years of experience as a spiritual teacher, digital pastor, and queer theologian, offering not only biblical expertise but also a deep, heartfelt understanding of what it means to seek belonging and truth in a faith tradition that hasn’t always made room for LGBTQ+ people. With warmth, wisdom, and a bit of humor, Kevin invites you to wrestle with scripture, trust your lived experiences, and discover a faith that embraces every part of who you are.

If you’ve ever felt excluded or condemned by your faith, The Big Queer Bible Study is here to remind you that you belong in the story of God’s love—exactly as you are.
