Love Thy Body
Format: Kindle
The publication of Nancy Pearcey’s book, Total Truth: Liberating Christianity From Its Cultural Captivity sent shockwaves throughout the evangelical world and help equip a new generation of apologists. Total Truth confronted the notion that scientific knowledge and moral knowledge were separated into two domains. The lower story includes objective truths that are public and valid for all people. This is the realm of empirical science. These truths are true and verifiable. The upper story includes the realm of moral knowledge which is private, relative, and subjective. Hence, the so-called unified concept of truth was obliterated and separated into two domains.
Pearcey’s subsequent works, Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning and Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes have also left an indelible mark on the church and culture at large. The impact of these books on me personally, cannot be overstated. My suspicion is that many people would concur.
Nancy Pearcey’s newest offering, Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality pick up where the other titles left off. The overarching goal of Love Thy Body is to “uncover the worldview that drives the secular ethic.” Ultimately, the book is designed to “show that a secular morality doesn’t fit the real universe.”
Readers familiar with Pearcey will quickly see the influence of Francis Schaeffer on her thought. It was Schaeffer who originally exposed the so-called “fact/value” split which has created a fracture epistemology that continues to be propagated today.
Pearcey shows the practical outgrowth of this fragmented worldview (or the two-story worldview) by pointing to several contemporary culture matters including abortion, euthanasia, “same-sex marriage,” and transgenderism. She helps readers understand how these various worldviews have been smuggled into our culture and links each of them to the two-story dichotomy.
Readers will be encouraged and challenged to walk through the argument of Love Thy Body and will be better equipped to not only contend with culture but also reach out to people who have been deceived by a pagan worldview.
Readers will discover that Pearcey’s argument is not combative. Rather, her heart cries for people who have been co-opted by this deviant worldview. She pleads with readers to reach out and love people with Christ-centered love: “Christians must present biblical morality in a way that reveals the beauty of the biblical view of the human person so that people actually want it to be true.”
Love Thy Body is a book that is filled with description and prescription. Facts and figures run through the book but the author is not content to leave her readers with data alone. She sets forth a workable prescription which is set on helping people and healing them at the deepest level. Therefore, “We must work to educate and persuade on a worldview level,” writes Pearcey. Such an approach is imperative if Christ-followers have any hope of reaching a lost world with the saving message of the gospel. Running through the book is a mindset that Pearcey, no doubt, learned from Schaeffer, namely, sharing the gospel with a tear in one’s eye.
Love Thy Body is riveting, challenging, educational, a shot to the heart, a challenge for the mind, and bold push for the feet. It will spark controversy in some venues and may even precipitate debate in the local church. Surely, this kind of debate is necessary as Christians seek to influence culture for God’s glory.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.

Getting past the noise to a holistic view of the person
Format: Hardcover
In order to have effective conversations about difficult and controversial subjects such as abortion, euthanasia, and sexual ethics it is important for both parties to be on the same page. Otherwise, it is easy to make assumptions about the other person’s motives and end up talking past each other. Discussions turn into arguments where name calling and personal attacks are more common than a reasoned and thoughtful exchange of ideas. In my own experience, it has been difficult to speak up about many of these types of sensitive subjects in public because of fear that I will be labeled intolerant or bigoted. In fact, it appears our culture, as a whole, has descended into a shouting match where the loudest voice is either the secular one screaming about trigger words and safe spaces where no one can challenge your views, or a caricature of Christianity which writes off everyone who disagrees as a hopeless reprobate who is going to hell. In this cacophony, the Christian message of God’s redeeming love for humanity is drowned out in a sea of empty words. Voices shouting past one another, convincing only those who already agree with us.
This situation that many Christians find themselves in, unable or unwilling to speak for fear of being attacked and shouted down is why the new book by Nancy Pearcey Love Thy Body is so important. I have been blessed to be part of both the manuscript review and the book launch team for this amazing book and I have to say that this may be one of the most important books for all Christians to read, especially those who wish to be more effective in the public sphere. Over the course of seven very accessible chapters she addresses the most pertinent issues of our times, from abortion, and assisted suicide to the hook up culture and the LGBTQ movement which is sweeping our nation and exposes a fatal flaw in the secular narrative. This flaw that runs through all of these issues is a fractured view of the person which splits apart the body and the mind. What results is a negative view of the body which tramples on human rights and dignity. The secular narrative is that the Christian view of the person is repressive and prudish, often denigrating the authentic self. They want to claim the high moral ground because their view is based on love and acceptance. Nancy’s book gives us the tools to get past the walls and barriers built up by secular buzz words such as “death with dignity,” “marriage equality,” and “pride” to the underlying worldview so we can be on the same page as those we are speaking with. In her words: “As we face the social ills of our own day, we must move beyond denunciations that can sound harsh, angry, or judgmental and instead work to show that the biblical ethic is based on a positive view of the body as part of the image of God.”

Clear thinking on contemporary confusion about our bodies.
Format: Hardcover
We live in a sound-bite society. A 30-second commercial exceeds our attention span unless it is cute, provocative, catchy or unusually funny. Many cannot sustain a thought longer than the time it takes to breathe. Our convictions are strong, they are popular, but they are typically backed by only a thin layer of thought. How can so many be wrong? I will go with the flow of the cultural consensus.
As a new Christian, I read “The Christian Mind,” by Harry Blamires. It convinced me that Christians should think. Perhaps true Christianity begins as an admission of sin and an experience of the love and grace of God that we call conversion, but that is only the beginning. We are welcomed into a new found wealth of wisdom for living in God’s world. Growing holiness is the long, slow and sometimes painful journey back to Eden and the way things were meant to be.
The Christian life involves the mind and living by revealed convictions. Yet, almost everyone in our culture today lives by a set of convictions of their own. They live by a set of self-discovered rules, ultimate convictions about life, love and the way things are supposed to be. They construct their own ethics out of these convictions. This ethic is fiercely held and savagely defended, but the foundation is very thin. The culture wars are fought on the worldview battlefield.
It is the ethics behind the conviction and the thinking behind the thought that needs to be examined, challenged and ultimately changed. When we confront a non-Christian with the holes in their worldview; when we apply thought and fact and truth and history to their ultimate convictions we are shouted down with angry rhetoric. The thinking behind most practical worldviews is paper thin and ill-founded. And when the law of unintended consequences bites them they do not know why. We need to show them why.
Christian apologetics is the intentional deprivation of another’s ‘God-Suppressor.” They know God, but they suppress that truth down because of their independent ethic and their perceived freedom in sin. Yet, it is God’s world and his rules apply. Reality bites and apologists show them why. Nancy Pearcey is a worldview apologist.
Christians ought to live by a set of revealed convictions about God and man and truth and law and ethics. We are radically different from the world around us because we grow, like plants, out of another kind of fertilizer. We are nourished by divine wisdom. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. (Colossians 2:3)
In many ways, I cut my spiritual teeth on the writings of Francis Schaeffer. Through him, I learned to think like a Christian, and that the Christian need not be ashamed of his intellectual heritage. Now that my teeth are cut, I brush them with Nancy Pearcey writings. She is the echo of Schaeffer updated and applied to the modern world that Schaeffer prophetically warned us about. Her latest book, "Love Thy Body", applies the Christian mind to contemporary issues regarding our bodies. (Abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, transgenderism, stem-cell research, sex, marriage, and homosexuality.) It shows how to understand the thinking of the modern world and apply logic, fact, research, from a Christian mind to the hot-button issues of the day.
It is a book that you really should read. It will make you think; like a Christian.

One of my all time faves and most-recommended books
Format: Paperback
I've read and re-read this book, shared with my spouse and children, and we collectively have purchased several copies with the intent to share. The author is incredibly educated, clear and concise, and spiritually gifted. She introduces revolutionary ways of looking at things that seem so obvious when she lays the scriptural groundwork you're probably already familiar with. It's like a combo of "yeah, DUH!!!" along with "HOW did I never see this??" In todays world with so many personal conflicts and confusing issues, Nancy will sharpen your understanding and resolve, and give you the tools to hold valuable and productive conversations with your loved ones.
We are now branching out to other book in her repertoire and finding them similarly ground-breaking.

Accessible Anthropology from a Christian Perspective in a Postmodern World
Format: Paperback
I had this as assigned reading for an upcoming seminary class. Beforehand, I read a TGC review by David Shaw which was highly positive but also offered three weaknesses. He expressed them as a wish for: more concentrated space devoted to the Christian view of the human body as well as a schema that goes beyond creation, fall, and redemption and includes inaugurated and future eschatology; a section on secular worldview rather than piecemeal throughout; and worldview language without pushing for worldview as a category, which he saw as dangerous. I actually liked the secular worldview interwoven through each chapter and thought that was helpful. However, I agree with the other weaknesses, particularly Shaw's last one.
I went ahead and found a journal article on the Christian view of the human body so I would have a frame of reference as I read. I'm so glad I did. I was not looking for something specifically Calvinistic, but leave it to Calvin to have written enough so that someone could analyze it! The name of the article is "Theology, Anthropology, and the Human Body in Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion" by Margaret R Miles in the Harvard Theological Review. I also have sources for eschatology and won't speak to these two topics that I felt were missing.
What I will say is this. I got a much better idea of what's going on in secular thought because of Pearcey's readable style without any dumbing down of concepts. That alone makes Love Thy Body well worth the read. However, I was disappointed with the ending, particularly pages 258 to the end. On 258, she correctly states that "we do not create marriage so much as we enter into a pre-existing social institution." Then on 259, she states that "Christians are called to form a model society--the local church--to demonstrate to the world a balanced interplay of individuality and relationship, of unity and diversity". Further down the page, she quotes, "Human beings are called to reproduce on earth the mystery of mutual love that the Trinity lives in heaven."
I don't have a problem with these statements in isolation. The Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to 'save both yourself and your hearers', attributing to Timothy the ability to save in terms of his being a secondary means. However, in context of what Shaw describes as 'worldview as category', my question is this. Are we called to 'form' or create a model society or to enter into it? I would argue that believers enter the kingdom of God who sets the agenda. Do they 'reproduce on earth the mystery of mutual love that the Trinity lives in heaven' or is this a gospel imperative flowing out of gospel indicatives? I would argue for the latter.
At another place, Pearcey uses the phraseology 'Christianity offers' but wouldn't it be better stated that 'Christianity is'? In framing her argument in terms of worldview, Shaw notes that she inadvertently undermines her own argument. I would add that we are pointed in the direction of our minds alone instead of towards our embodied persons (including our minds) joined to the resurrected embodied Christ. "We are...always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies" (2 Cor 4:8, 10).
