Quick Answers to Social Issues
The collapse of the Christian worldview in America and the West is happening, to the utter shock of Christians. Why? They’ve been blind to the enemy’s stealth attack on biblical history and authority, which has led multiple generations to abandon God’s Word as their foundation.
When our culture asks the questions dealt with in this book — and our kids parrot these questions and ideas heard from schools, libraries, movies, books, music, YouTube, social media, etc. — it must be remembered they’re not innocent, unintentional questions. They stem fundamentally from a rejection of biblical authority. Quick Answers to Social Issues provides answers for some of the toughest questions of the day regarding:
- Marriage and sexuality from God’s Word
- Response to the LGBTQ+ community
- Animal rights and the green movement
- The biblical response to racism
It’s imperative that Christians be ready to give answers to today’s questions! Thus, the passion and purpose of this book is to equip you with clear, concise biblical answers to effectively stand on God’s Word and boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ on the frontlines of today’s battle!

"[N]o matter the issue in question — origins, morality, sexuality, significance of existence, salvation, future reality, etc. — how a person answers will ultimately come down to one of only two religions. Do you trust the Word of God or words of men?"
✏️ Review ✏️ [reread: May 2025]
Practical and relevant, Quick Answers to Social Issues does exactly what the title says — provides quick, biblically-based responses to a variety of current social issues. Featuring answers to questions about life, equality, environmental, marriage, sexual, and gender issues, this book is a must-read resource for those looking to stand firmly on the foundation of God's Word in a culture replete with deception and lies.
The responses in this book cut to the quick, addressing the very foundations of these issues — should we listen to what God's authoritative Word says or should we listen man's finite opinions on the matter? While discussing these various topics, the author does not waver or assert his own opinions; rather he bases all of his responses on what God, the Creator, has declared in His Word. Quick Answers to Social Issues equips readers to stand on the absolute and unquestionable truth of God's Word in today's culture of relativism and confusion. This book is a must-read!

📣 Random Comments 📣
• As mentioned in my "Content" section, Quick Answers to Social Issues discusses sexual, gender, and LGBTQ+-related topics. These topics are modestly discussed from a biblical standpoint; personally, I would say these sections would be appropriate for readers who are 16+. Based on each individual's case, however, others may decide that that age can be lowered or raised based on the reader's maturity level.

💬 Favorite Quotes 💬
• No other religion has an empty tomb! Every other major religious leader is dead. Only Jesus rose the grave, the ultimate confirmation of who He is and what He taught. (p. 93)
• (So many points stood out to me from this book that I just didn't write them all down; it would have been too much.)

This quick answers book is by no means an exhaustive list of arguments but it is a solid and useful tool to equip Christians to think in a Biblical way!
Two things that I greatly appreciate bout this book! 1. The use of scripture every argument comes from Scripture and there are verses everywhere! 2. The use of the Gospel through out the book is excellent. The gospel is given in every little chapter! It serves as a sweet reminder to Christians where the basis of their faith is!

This is a great little book. It is a quick read and to the point, which makes it an excellent resource to hand out to busy youth or college students.
I appreciate how boldly the author takes on these issues, issues that many professing Christians have compromised or remained silent on. There were many good illustrations and examples of how to discuss these various topics that I took away (which I hope to use in my evangelical encounters).
This book, like the AiG ministry behind it, takes a very presuppositional approach to every topic, which is the only truly biblical approach to defending the faith. There is no neutral ground, and Osborne makes that very clear. All issues ultimately come down to the question of authority.

This makes a great tabletop book, something to read one question at a time as either an intro to a topic or a refresher. In the back they provide resources where you can find in depth answers to the questions.

"Neutrality doesn't exist."
This book has so many great answers to the social issues of today. Every answer is backed up by biblical scripture.
This is a book I'm keeping on my bookshelf because I'm sure I'll go back to it from time to time.
This book is needed in this world we live in.

Quick, cogent, well thought out, and easy to understand answers to a number of hot issues in our culture. Thoroughly referenced with lots of Biblical references, as well as having a section at the end, to point the reader to other resources.
