Why the call to\u00a0Love Thy Body?\u00a0<\/i>To counter a pervasive hostility toward the body and biology that drives today’s headline stories:<\/p>\n
Transgenderism:<\/b>\u00a0Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to kindergarten are being taught their bodies are irrelevant. Is this affirming–or does it demean the body?<\/p>\n
Homosexuality:<\/b>\u00a0Advocates disconnect sexuality from biological identity. Is this liberating–or does it denigrate biology?<\/p>\n
Abortion:<\/b>\u00a0Supporters deny the fetus is a person, though it is biologically human. Does this mean equality for women–or does it threaten the intrinsic value of all humans?<\/p>\n
Euthanasia:\u00a0<\/b>Those who lack certain cognitive abilities are said to be no longer persons. Is this compassionate–or does it ultimately put everyone at risk?<\/p>\n
In\u00a0Love Thy Body,\u00a0<\/i>bestselling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct slogans with a riveting expos\u00e9 of the dehumanizing worldview that shapes current watershed moral issues.<\/p>\n
Pearcey then turns the tables on media boilerplate that misportrays Christianity as harsh or hateful.\u00a0A former agnostic, she makes a surprising and persuasive case that Christianity\u00a0is holistic, sustaining the dignity of the body and biology.<\/p>\n
Throughout she entrances readers with compassionate stories of people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives–their pain, their struggles, their triumphs.<\/p>\n
“Liberal secularist ideology rests on a mistake and Nancy Pearcey in her terrific new book puts her finger right on it. In embracing abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and relationships, transgenderism, and the like, liberal secularism . . . is philosophically as well as theologically untenable.”–Robert P. George,<\/b>\u00a0Princeton\u00a0University<\/p>\n
