Al Mohler, Homosexuality, and the "New Liberalism" by Peter Lumpkins

Last week, I raised the question concerning Andy Stanley’s perplexing story about a gay couple in his church. I wrote:

Real Marriage: Is Mark Driscoll fudging in the Footnotes? (Part II) by Peter Lumpkins

Below is Part II in answering the question toward Mark Driscoll's latest book, Real Marriage, is he fudging in some of his footnotes? We concluded in Part I he most probably botched his source on Solomon's Song (2:3) from a 1977 book by Joseph C. Dillow.

Real Marriage: Is Mark Driscoll fudging in the footnotes? (Part I) by Peter Lumpkins

Earlier, I mentioned two preliminaries concerning Driscoll's newest book, Real Marriage, preliminaries which I felt needed initial attention before I posted a general review of Driscoll's book. The first one dealt with Driscoll's obvious absence of adequately thinking through moral issues within the marital relationship. Contrarily, many suggest Driscoll is a model preacher, clearly presenting the gospel to the lost (one Driscoll supporter offers an honest appraisal, recording both "pros" and "cons" he feels Driscoll brings to the table, with the "pros," however, winning out over the "cons").

Of interest is Akin's own contributions to the biblical theme of human sexuality including his book, God on Sex: The Creator's Ideas about Love, Intimacy, and Marriage, a popular but reliable look into human sexuality from a decidedly biblical perspective--particularly sexuality as expressed in the context of holy matrimony  >>>
