Because Mohler believes Christians’ relationship with the Creator gives them a “special stake” in human sexuality, he believes the church should play a special role in bringing public clarity to a sexually muddled world. As “stewards” of God’s gifts, Mohler says, “Christians have no right to be embarrassed when it comes to talking about sex and sexuality.” Not speaking out about what we believe shows “disrespect to God’s creation.”
While re-establishing a theological view on human sexuality, Mohler grapples with a range of topics; but most notably and extensively, he examines homosexuality and pornography.
Certainly these topics are not unique to this book. What makes this resource different is its exploration into how immorality should be viewed in theological perspective and how this affects the relational aspects of our society. In particular, he offers some original ideas about how this impacts friendships and marriages.
