Back in early 2025, there was a heated debate amongst reformed evangelicals. Some were quick to insist that not only our thoughts, words and actions but the very root desire and temptation itself were sin. Not only that but they were confident that anyone who disagreed was in, or at least in real danger of falling into error.
The recent sad news of Sam Allberry’s resignation from Immanuel Nashville due to an inappropriate relationship with another man seems to have reignited the debate. This is unsurprising given that the primary focus of the debate seemed to be on whether same sex attraction was itself sin and given that Sam was a key interlocuter in the conversation.
At the time, I wrote a series of articles engaging with the subject. I thought it might be helpful for people to have an introduction or prima if you like on the controversy. So I’ve gathered those articles together into one e-book to provide such a starting point. I’d love to see this provoke a further conversation, hopefully a helpful one that focuses on how we cultivate godly affections and desires.
