About Somewhere Under The Rainbow: A Christian Look At
Product description This book looks at the events and forces that over the course of decades have undermined the traditional view of marriage to such an extent, as to allow the idea of same–sex “marriage” to become the law of the land. It examines the biblical view of marriage since that view has been the assumption of most of western civilization for the last 2,000 years. It also considers the early Church Father’s view on marriage as well as ancient Greece and Rome. It then examines the arguments used by same–sex marriage advocates to see if in fact Christians need to rethink the issue of homosexuality and marriage and adopt a more “inclusive” interpretation of Scripture. Finally, it looks at how the church can help those struggling with homosexuals who desire to lead godly lives in accordance with His Word. The authors are conservative evangelicals who believe in the inerrancy of Scripture that it is sufficient for faith and practice. They believe that the issue of same–sex “marriage” goes to the heart of who we are as human beings and challenges the biblical teaching that the church has held for over 2,000 years. The goal is not to win arguments but to win souls, to give clarity to those confused by the claims of same–sex “marriage” advocates, and to help the church reach out anew to those dealing with homosexuality in their lives. Review Geisler and Van Gordon have done both Christians and non-Christians a great service by writing Somewhere under the Rainbow: A Christian Look at Same-sex "Marriage." They furnish concise yet comprehensive answers to the objections and alternate "interpretations" of God's Word employed by same-sex apologists to justify their lifestyle. Importantly, they also compose a compelling narrative of how Jesus is the answer to same-sex attraction and how the Church can witness and minister to those mired in such a life style. Van Gordon's compelling personal testimony of how Jesus liberated him from a homosexual lifestyle provides a personal dimension that will have a powerful impact on readers. I cannot think of a better volume to place in the hands of all those desiring to be the ambassadors of reconciliation and redemption that our Savior has called all of us to be. -Dr. Richard Land President, Southern Evangelical Seminary This work addresses one of the most controversial and sensitive ethical topics in our culture today with clarity, thoroughness, and grace from a Christian perspective. Geisler and Van Gordon leave no stone unturned as they address with incisive logic the historical and biblical matters that have a direct bearing on understanding same-sex marriage. What is often missing in many other books that provide only academic answers is offered here with Van Gordon's testimony and an appeal to healing and hope for those who choose change. This is a must-read book for all those who seek a broader understanding of the issue and desire to be an agent for change and clarity when interacting with those who are confused with same-sex marriage. -Dr. Joseph M. Holden, President, Veritas Evangelical Seminary Geisler and Van Gordon offer a clear, insightful look at both the biblical information regarding the same-sex marriage issue and the hope Jesus offers. They address the modern history of the topic, Scripture's teachings, answer objections, and suggest ways God's people can offer help through the work of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. -Dr. John Ankerberg, President and host of The John Ankerberg Show Are homosexuals "born this way" through a pre-determined genetic orientation or is homosexuality the product of "desires run astray" from God's design? This book offers a refreshingly fair and helpful summary with astute analysis of the most important assumptions and arguments of both views while offering an objective, logical and biblical conclusion-and don't miss the compassionate preface. -Karl Elkins, LPC-S, ThM, MA, Psychotherapist Geisler and Van Gordon take you on an enlightening ride through the last several decades to show you how sex has become, in effect, the new religion in America. Along the way, they blow several myths, and offer some very practical advice that will help you minister to loved ones who may be same sex attracted or think the Scriptures support same-sex marriage. This is the much needed reasoned response to a position often defended by emotional appeals. -Dr. Frank Turek, Author, Correct, Not Politically Correct About the Author Norman L.
