Sexual Identity: False Identity | AALC Session 7b | Dr. Christopher Yuan

Dr. Christopher Yuan is the author of Holy Sexuality and the Gospel: Sex, Desire, and Relationships Shaped by God’s Grand Story. He spoke during the seventh session of the AALC Conference. His talk was titled, “Sexual Identity: False Identity.”
In his talk, Christopher Yuan articulated a biblical view of sexuality through the narrative of his personal transformation from an agnostic gay man to a Bible professor. He shared how one of the most important things when engaging with our LGB friends is how sexuality has become the core of our being: “Being gay” means “This is who I am.”
But how does the Bible communicate who we are? Dr. Yuan articulates the correct understanding of personhood through the lens of Scripture-particularly the image of God and the doctrine of sin-and explains the consequences of an incorrect understanding of who we are.
