Prof. Nancy Pearcey

Is masculinity "toxic"?

That's become today's catchall charge against men. Books have appeared with titles like I Hate Men and Are Men Necessary?

How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey answers this question by exploring

● the history of masculinity in America
● God's original blueprint for what it means to be human
● how the secularization process has obscured that blueprint
● what God-centered masculinity looks like in practice
● how Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior

This book will equip thinkers and activists to challenge politically correct ideology and bring an evidence-based message of healing into the public square.

Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant?

In today's cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.

In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself, which functions as a gatekeeper, ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena.

How can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people, past and present, Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview.

Finally, she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth.

Why the call to Love Thy Body? To counter a pervasive hostility toward the body and biology that drives today's headline stories:

● Transgenderism: Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to kindergarten are being taught their body is irrelevant to their authentic self. Is this affirming--or does it demean the body?

● Homosexuality: Advocates disconnect sexuality from biological identity as male or female. Is this liberating--or does it denigrate biology?

● Abortion: Supporters say the fetus is not a person, though it is biologically human. Does this mean equality for women--or does it threaten the intrinsic value of all humans?

● Euthanasia: Those who lack certain cognitive abilities are said to be human but not persons. Is this compassionate--or does it ultimately put everyone at risk?

In Love Thy Body,bestselling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct slogans with a riveting exposé of the dehumanizing worldview that shapes current watershed moral issues, arguing that a holistic Christian view sustains the dignity of the body and biology. Throughout the book, Pearcey entrances readers with compassionate stories of people wrestling with hard questions in their own lives--their pain, their struggles, their triumphs.

Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life's basic questions―Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?―but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. How Now Shall We Live? gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world's bankrupt worldviews and to restore and redeem every aspect of contemporary culture: family, education, ethics, work, law, politics, science, art, music. This book will change every Christian who reads it. It will change the church in the new millennium.

Is secularism a positive force in the modern world? Or does it lead to fragmentation and disintegration? In Saving Leonardo, best-selling award-winning author Nancy Pearcey (Total Truth, coauthor How Now Shall We Live?) makes a compelling case that secularism is destructive and dehumanizing.

Pearcey depicts the revolutionary thinkers and artists, the ideas and events, leading step by step to the unleashing of secular worldviews that undermine human dignity and liberty. She crafts a fresh approach that exposes the real-world impact of ideas in philosophy, science, art, literature, and film--voices that surround us in the classroom, in the movie theater, and in our living rooms.

A former agnostic, Pearcey offers a persuasive case for historic Christianity as a holistic and humane alternative. She equips readers to counter the life-denying worldviews that are radically restructuring society and pervading our daily lives. Whether you are a devoted Christian, determined secularist, or don't know quite where you stand, reading Saving Leonardo will unsettle established views and topple ideological idols. Includes more than 100 art reproductions and illustrations that bring the book's themes to life.
 

This apologetics book for a new generation teaches a biblically based, straightforward approach to conversations with atheists, skeptics, and seekers about why the truths they long for can be found only in Christianity.
 
From former agnostic Nancy Pearcey, this real-world apologetics book offers a five-part strategy for answering the claims of any worldview.
 
Christians can feel overwhelmed at the sheer number of competing worldviews in today’s pluralistic society. But we do not have to memorize a new argument to answer every possible perspective. In Finding Truth, Nancy Pearcey provides five biblically based principles that cut to the heart of any worldview while making a compelling and attractive case for Christianity.
 
This highly engaging and practical book:
 

• Equips you to respectfully respond to atheists and skeptics with a single apologetics approach
• Challenges the assumption that faith means we stop thinking and “just believe”
• Explores why the bedrock truths we long for are found only in historic Christianity
• Helps us see how the Bible gives us the resources we need to think critically about any system of ideas so we can speak about Jesus with confidence

 
Rich with personal stories and modern-day examples, Finding Truth is a training manual to help you make the case for Christianity in a post-Christian world. As Pearcey reminds us, the most common reason people give for rejecting Christianity is that they can’t find satisfying answers to their doubts. Finding Truth offers those answers and helps you articulate them so that you can say along with Paul, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.”

This Turning Point book surveys the development of science and its historic and current relationship to Christianity, and reintroduces believers to their rich intellectual heritage.
