What is Going on in Christian Sex Education

by E.S. Williams

Sex education has proved to be a difficult issue for Christians. In view of the crisis in teenage pregnancies and the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, some believe that young people desperately need accurate and reliable information on sex and relationships so that they can make healthy informed choices. In an attempt to meet this need, a Christian version of sex education is being promoted by a number of organisations, the most prominent of which is CARE. But is it possible to combine the messages of sex education with the teachings of Scripture What should parents teach their children about sexual conduct What is going on in Christian Sex Education sets out to answer these questions from a biblical perspective. The messages of Christian sex education are described in graphic detail, and compared with the divine plan for sexual conduct. The light of biblical truth reveals the inherent flaws in Christian sex education.

Reviews

[John Lowery]

I have reviewed this for the Bible League Quarterly. It is well researched and its conclusions are that there is something very wrong in what passes for Christian sex education. It is sad that one has to commend this book because it is an exposure of the ungodly compromise at the base of this education so called. The book demonstrates that much is simply a regurgitation of the state's position, set completely adrfit from any biblical moorings. It is important that people do read this if you have children in school and are relying on Christian sex educators to provide a balance. Be warned - a lot of them will not!

Well, I don't disagree with all that he has to say however I do not like books or statement where one ignores what is and pretends that somehow we can start with a clean sheet. You can not we can only go from where we are, very negative book, and I would want to know ok then what is the answer?
