The Secular Creed: Engaging Five Contemporary Claims

De: Rebecca McLaughlin

Narrado por: Rebecca McLaughlin

"In this house we believe that: Black Lives Matter, Love Is Love, Gay Rights Are Civil Rights, Women’s Rights Are Human Rights, Transgender Women Are Women".

You may have seen signs with some of these messages in your neighborhood. They offer us an all-or-nothing package deal - in short, a secular creed. In this provocative audiobook, Rebecca McLaughlin helps us disentangle the beliefs Christians gladly affirm from those they cannot embrace, and invites us to talk with our neighbors about the things that matter most. Far from opposing love across difference, McLaughlin argues, Christianity is the original source and firmest foundation for true diversity, equality, and life-transforming love.

Helpful book

This book was a great encouragement. There are so many cultural issues to navigate, yet biblical love is crucial.

Timely and hopeful

Struggling to understand how to stand in this moment in history and the cultural divide as a loving, truth telling and truth listening Christian. Rebecca thoughtfully, patiently and lovingly sheds light on the scriptures that show us love and tell us truth. An excellent read. Thought provoking. Still chewing on it.

A must read to engage with our world as it is now.

She touched on so many hot topics that our society is facing and how to engage them well as a believer

A must read for today’s church

Grace filled truth with an acknowledgement of where the church has fallen short. Kudos to McLaughlin for researching and tackling these difficult topics.

So thoughtful and well written!

The author writes so grounded, exemplifying grace and truth. I appreciate that it’s short and too the point as well.

Current Relevant Helpful

I greatly appreciate the transparency and candor. I especially appreciate hearing a book in the authors own voice.

Thoughtful and sensitive

The often divisive topics explored in this book were handled with sensitivity and grace. My sense was that the author is rooted in love and compassion even though I may not reach the same conclusions she reached theologically.

Unfortunate

This book is very good and will unfortunately be hated by some genuine Brothers and Sisters in CHRIST. I literally pray that those who read or listen will be given great grace to look past their own road blocks and see the truth communicated in these pages.

A Great Book Addressing Secular Claims

I loved this short little book! Rebecca takes all the populat secular claims and demonstrates that the underlying assumption behind each of them is rooted in a Christian worldview. She also points out sin and hypocrisy within the Christian church and shows how that is part of what led to these secular ideas becoming so popular and portraying Christianity so badly to modern secularists. This book was challenging, informative, and encouraging at the same time. I hope this book helps us each to see how the secular creed falls short of the glory of the gospel!

Helpful, exhorting and educational!!!

Excellent read and helpful to the body of Christ, in exhortation and lovingly reminding how to love others who disagree with us. Truly appreciate her wisdom and grace in sharing these truths!
