Love Thy Body

Why the call tonbsp;iLove Thy Body?nbsp;/iTo counter a pervasive hostility toward the body and biology that drives today’s headline stories:nbsp;Transgenderism: Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to kindergarten are being taught their bodies are irrelevant. Is this affirming-or does it demean the body?Homosexuality: Advocates disconnect sexuality from biological identity. Is this liberating-or does it denigrate biology?Abortion: Supporters deny the fetus is a person, though it is biologically human. Does this mean equality for women-or does it threaten the intrinsic value of all humans?Euthanasia:nbsp;Those who lack certain cognitive abilities are said to be no longer persons. Is this compassionate-or does it ultimately put everyone at risk?nbsp;Innbsp;iLove Thy Body,nbsp;/ibestselling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct slogans with a riveting exposeacute; of the dehumanizing worldview that shapes current watershed moral issues.nbsp;Pearcey then turns the tables on media boilerplate that misportrays Christianity as harsh or hateful.nbsp;A former agnostic, she makes a surprising and persuasive case that Christianitynbsp;is holistic, sustaining the dignity of the body and biology.nbsp;Throughout she entrances readers with compassionate stories of people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives-their pain, their struggles, their triumphs.quot;Liberal secularist ideology rests on a mistake and Nancy Pearcey in her terrific new book puts her finger right on it. In embracing abortion, euthanasia, homosexual conduct and relationships, transgenderism, and the like, liberal secularism . . . is philosophically as well as theologically untenable.quot;-Robert P.
