Summary

Bisexual people of the Christian faith are a sector of the LGBT+ community that is under-researched, under-represented and often misunderstood. Either omitted from lesbian and gay Christian anthologies altogether, or subsumed within the homosexual community, this volume marks the first comprehensive attempt to chart the lived experiences of this group. Each chapter portrays the story from one person’s unique perspective, focusing on different main topics and using their own words. The contributors have diverse backgrounds relating to several factors, such as denomination, age, gender, or relationship status.
