A pastor who is also a politics professor examines current issues
pertaining to sexuality and society and asks, What kind of world
are we creating? And is it the world we want to live in? With no
finger-pointing, and a cordial openness to responses from all
points of view, Dale Kuehne contrasts the "tWorld," in which
traditional morality reigned and recent innovations would have been
inconceivable, with the post-Enlightenment "iWorld," in which these
innovations are promoted because the perceived immediate needs of
the individual are paramount. Both, he finds, fall short of the
"rWorld," the larger web of healthy and nourishing social
relationships that provides the context for a biblical
understanding of individual sexuality. This book will transform the
conversation on sexuality among college students, campus ministers,
church and ministry leaders, and all readers with an eye on culture
and public policy.
EXCERPT
Even as the broader culture has deviated from the traditional
understanding of sexual ethics and marriage, so have Christians. .
. . Given the rapid shift in the sexual behavior of Christians, it
should come as no surprise that when the church attempts to respond
to the questions posed by the Sexual Revolution, it does so with
mixed messages, a muted voice, and little impact. . . . The answer
for the church is not to withdraw permanently from the public
debate about sexual morality. Instead we need to step back, think
deeply about what we believe, and rearticulate it in a better way.
Most of all, we need to practice what we profess and in doing so,
reengage the culture in a dialogue about the meaning of sexuality.
