Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It's time to talk back.The generation born into evangelical purity culture has grown up, and many have started families of their own. But as time goes on, it's becoming more evident that many still struggle with purity culture's complicated legacy-its idolization of virginity, its mixed messages about modesty and lust, and its promise of a healthy marriage and great sex for those who follow the rules.In Talking Back to Purity Culture, Rachel Joy Welcher reviews the movement carefully, examining its teachings through the lens of Scripture. Compassionate, faithful, and wise, she charts a path forward for Christians in the ongoing debates about sexuality-one that rejects legalism and license alike, steering us back instead to the good news of Jesus.It's time to talk back to purity culture-and this book is ready to jump-start the conversation.
