Speaking Truth to a Culture Redefining Sex,
Marriage, and the Very Meaning of Right and Wrong

President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Dr. R. Albert Mohler

and offers a framework for Christians to live faithfully amid the change.
Publisher's Book Information
Twenty years ago, not one nation on earth had legal same-sex marriage. Now, access to same-sex
marriage is increasingly seen as a basic human right. In a matter of less than a generation, western cultures have
experienced a moral revolution.
Dr. R. Albert Mohler examines how this transformation occurred, revealing the underlying cultural shifts behind
this revolution: the acceptance of divorce culture, liberation of sex from reproduction, the prevalence of heterosexual
cohabitation, the normalization of homosexuality, and the rise of the transgender movement. He then offers a deep
look at how the Bible and Christian moral tradition provide a comprehensive understanding upon which Christians
can build their personal lives, their marriages, church ministry, and cultural engagement.
Dr. Mohler helps Christians in their understanding of the underlying issues of this significant cultural shift
and how to face the challenge of believing faithfully, living faithfully, and engaging the culture faithfully in
light of this massive change.

Review by Evan (on publisher's web page)
Al Mohler is president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Mohler has a daily podcast called The
Briefing. He also writes on albertmohler.com. He has also written a book titled He is Not Silent, which addresses
preaching in a postmodern world.
If you have never read or listened to anything by Dr. Mohler, I would suggest listening to The Briefing. Dr. Mohler
regularly provides clarity to issues that are pressing in the culture. In We Cannot Be Silent, he does just that!
He provides clarity to multiple issues in our day that are pressing. Dr. Mohler addresses the many problems that
are prevalent in our day and within the cultural revolution. He addresses things such as contraceptives, divorce,
sex outside of marriage, same-sex marriage, and the sexual revolution. Dr. Mohler looks at the cultural and examines
our decline on multiple fronts. From who the Church has engaged in the public square, to how the family engages
in the home, Christians have failed to be involved. Dr. Mohler has provided in the last chapter of this book 30
questions that may be asked within the growing sexual revolution, this chapter is really helpful so the reader
can process the information given in this book. Dr. Mohler shows how the church has been silent on many of these
issues, rather than being vocal for what God says in His Word. Since God is not silent, the Church should not be
silent.
Why should you read this book?
1. Dr. Mohler shows the importance of addressing these issues that are now found in our culture. Individuals are
affected, families are affected, and lives are at stake. The Cross of Jesus Christ matters.
2. Dr. Mohler values life. He doesn’t just value it here on earth, but hereafter. This life is short, are we prepared
for eternity?
3. The church has been silent on multiple issues. This book will be a challenging work for some of us. Books like
this are great to help us rethink and refocus what we are doing with are lives. (Posted on 10/17/2015)
