{"product_id":"coming-out-as-sacrament-chris-glaser-9780664257484","title":"Coming out As Sacrament","description":"\u003cp\u003eGay Christian author and activist Chris Glaser believes that sexual minorities, often denied their churches' traditional sacraments, have found unique access to the sacred in their lives: coming out of the closet. Glaser persuasively argues that coming out--as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered--has biblical precedence and sacramental dimensions. Using personal and biblical illustrations, he discusses coming out as an act of vulnerability, much like a sacrificial offering of ancient times, that invokes God's presence and effects atonement, or reconciliation. In this engaging book he shows how coming out, like other sacraments, may serve as a means of grace--that is, an experience of God's unconditional love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Glaser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0664257488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664257484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.50w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1999 pg. 108","brand":"Chris Glaser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920441016575,"sku":"9780664257484","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2a711cfc-a4ba-4958-8b9e-d5868890b1b6.jpg?v=1680815380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coming-out-as-sacrament-chris-glaser-9780664257484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
