Love Thy Body
by Nancy R. Pearcey | Book Summary
Author: Nancy R. Pearcey
|
Though it is easy to get caught up in the latest controversy or breaking story, the real issue is what happens at the level of one's worldview. By learning the core principles of this secular worldview, Christians are better equipped to engage non-Christians intelligently and compassionately on issues of moral importance. Love Thy Body helps us to do just that. It takes readers behind the scenes of the humanist worldview and dissects the underlying principles driving the advance of this secular moral revolution. Though we live in a moral wasteland, the answers to hard questions about life and sexuality can be found in the biblical worldview that expresses a positive, life-affirming view of the human person. That view is revealed in the pages of this book. |
