About the author

I write in order to make the little voices in my head go away. Thus far it hasn't worked.

In this little book, Wilson addresses the biggest challenges our culture is facing: homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion-- pomosexuality. Read it. You can get it as a free pdf from Canon Press if you sign up for their newsletter.

Postmodern sexuality (Pomosexuality) is the sexual understanding of the modern world today. It's a combination of anything goes, as long as it is affirming, and non-consequentialism, as long as those who aren't affirming receive consequences.

Wilson briefly outlines what time this train arrived, who is on the train, and why we should not get on despite our culture constantly yelling "All Aboard!"

3.5 rounded up.
Understanding post modern sexuality or "pomosexuality" really is the big E on the eye chart of culture today. Doug helpfully explains it.

Spicy. Beware of being blinded by Meredith Kline’s glory-cloud 🤭

[Rusten · Rating 5 out of 5]

Makes the important case that sexuality is not a secondary issue, but rather one that requires direct confrontation within Christian witness.

[Wade Stotts]

Very good. Audiobook coming soon.

I think I enjoy Wilson’s writing style more with every book of his that I read. Witty, refreshing, and cutting. What stood out to me the most in this short read was the emphasis on no compromise - not just in my convictions, but in my words and my life as well. Jesus is Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all.

Some non sequiturs, such as drawing conclusions from evolution where evolutionism only would warrant them.

[Jonathan Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great little book. Highly recommended. Great cultural commentary on what is going on with post-modern sexuality.

LOLOL

Pithy, punchy, and excellent.

(Sorry for ruining the alliteration.)

This was ok I suppose. Probably the lamest Doug Wilson book I have ever read tho.

Another homophobic attack on LGBTQ people

Another very good title and the final one from this series of short books that I have read by Wilson. Douglas Wilson, as insightful as ever lays out the case for describing this age as that of Pomosexuality. This is basically a hot mess that comes from the combination of a postmodern world-view with the sexual revolution.

Sex matters. As Christians, we may be tempted to shy away from this but it is a topic in which we must contend. God made it and it is a vital part of the marriage relationship and as the world seeks to damage the Biblical view of marriage it inevitably has to desecrate sex on the road to doing so. The inevitable answer to this issue is Reformation in Christ Jesus and a renewal of faithful obedience to the Lordship of Jesus Christ by Christians as individuals and by the church as a whole. For how this is to take place.. Read the book.

I was expecting a little more from this book. Oh well, at least it was short. Other books of his are phenomenal, so, what's a meh every now and then? I did like his word "pomosexuality," post-modern sexuality. Very creative. And the tying in of Darwinian thought into where we are at today regarding sexual morals. That really got me thinking.

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Concise, witty, and hard-hitting exposition of our culture's rotting sexual ethics based on postmodern thinking. Hardly an exhaustive treatment of the subject, but well-argued and a great starting point to understand our current situation.

[Caleb M. Powers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent little book on the Christian cultural response to the modern sexual revolution.

[amanda gardiner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly not my fave, but it very well might be my inability to think philosophically that made it hard for me to follow some of his arguments. Not terrible, but not enjoyable for me personally.

[Alex Kearney · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was so so for a Doug Wilson book.

[William Schrecengost · Rating 5 out of 5]

Against postmodernity and it’s sexual ethics

[Sean Brothers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wilson never backs down to speak of the issues that we are currently facing and to tell people the truth no matter who’s feelings it hurts. Great listen.

[Luke Waters · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great piece by Mr. Wilson.

[Jake Litwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Listened to the audio version. Much needed response to our culture today.

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and to the point. Wilson excellently dissects the issues with the modern sexual revolution, where it is heading, and what Christians should do about it.

[Larry Farlow · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent overview of the roots of the sexual revolution. Apart from understanding how we got here, we pursue solutions in vain. Wilson points out that, far from being a secondary issue, the sexual license our culture promotes is a primary issue because it is the "canary in the coal mine" signaling the capitulation of our society to a pagan worldview. The only solution is for the gospel of Jesus Christ to again be preached boldly as it was in the first century resulting in a transformation of the Roman Empire. If you want an concise (only about 70 pages), easy to read primer on the sexual revolution from a Christian perspective, this is it.

I was able to listen to this audiobook and was happy to find it narrated by one of my new favorite talk show hosts. If you're sensitive to strong words, I recommend skipping this one. No punches are pulled and Douglas Wilson calls things as he sees them. I find there were some good points made in this book, especially the part about Christians hating the wrong things. If you're a Christian looking for a book that pushes you to think, something not too long and pretty straightforward, then this book might be a good fit for you.

Excellent at showing how lust-filled a society we have become.
