Tough Questions - Biblical Answers Part I

by Jack W. Cottrell

This book is based on the conviction that the Bible is God's inerrant word given for all humankind, and that it presents the framework of a total life-and-world view. Its doctrine and its ethical principles are relevant to the social and moral issues of all times. The author contends that until we learn to use the Bible and apply it to such problems as capital punishment, genetic engineering, homosexuality, and labor strikes, we will be at the mercy of today's humanistic value-shapers and our own uninformed feelings.

I turned out to be an atheist, but even when I was a believer, I wasn't buying everything I read in this book my sophomore year of college, when I was doing some real soul-searching. I thought the stance on masturbation being wrong was silly. I figured at the time it was better to sin with yourself than drag somebody else into sinful sexual relationships with you. "And that's my stance on the subject," is what I said in my journal from that time.

Vintage Cottrell. Straightforward prose addressing topics in a robustly biblical way. Tackles numerous and challenging contemporary questions (in spite of the book's actual age). Such issues include biblical marriage, homosexuality, sex, divorce, capitalism, poverty, and the environmental crisis.

I had to read this book for a class and that made me read more into everything that this book said and it was very enlightening.
