Review of Richard & Christopher Hays’s ‘The Widening of God’s Mercy’

By John Whittaker | Bio

John Whittaker is a disciple of Jesus and a Bible teacher whose goal is to provide what he calls “blue jeans theology”–theology for everyday life. He’s been a pastor and Bible college professor and a church planter. One of his greatest joys in life is being a husband, father, and grandfather. He is the creator of the Bible in Life online teaching ministry (at johnwhittaker.net) and of the Listener’s Commentary on the New Testament (listenerscommentary.com). He loves seeing people come alive to the joy and transforming power of walking with Jesus in the midst of their everyday life.

In The Widening of God’s Mercy, father and son Richard and Christopher Hays show why they believe same-sex sexual relationships and marriage ought to be fully welcomed in the church today. The present book represents a change of mind and therefore comes with much anticipation: what new data led him to reverse his earlier position? John Whittaker reviews Richard and Christopher Hays’s The Widening of God’s Mercy.
