Homosexuality: The Use of Scientific Research in the Church’s Moral Debate
Stanton L. Jones and Mark A. Yarhouse, Homosexuality: The Use of Scientific Research in the Church’s Moral Debate (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2000). $18.00, 192 pages. How prevalent is homosexuality? What causes it? Is it a psychopathology? And can it be changed? Social scientists have researched these questions for decades. Increasingly, individual Christians and Christian denominations[i] draw on the findings of that research as they debate whether homosexual behavior is permissible, whether same-sex marriage is desirable, and whether non-celibate homosexuals can be ordained to ministry. Unfortunately, many Christians and churches that draw on this research do so without conceding … Continue reading Homosexuality: The Use of Scientific Research in the Church’s Moral Debate

Stuff Christians Like
Jonathan Acuff, Stuff Christians Like (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2010). $12.99, 208 pages. Stuff Christians Like satirizes some of the beliefs and behaviors of American evangelicals. Jonathan Acuff admits the title pays homage to Christian Lander’s Stuff White People Like. Like Lander’s book, Acuff’s book is smartly written, on-target with its sarcasm, and laugh-out-loud funny. The book originated with blog posts on StuffChristiansLike.net. My favorite posts are “Using ‘Faith Like a Child’ As an Escape Pod from Difficult Theological Discussions” (13–15), “Secret Christian Bands” (40–41), “The Seven People You Meet in a Prayer Circle” (53–56), “The Metrosexual Worship Leader” (80–84), … Continue reading Stuff Christians Like
