10 Thorns: Ten Conflicts Between Culture and Christian Thought Connie Cook

This won't come as a surprise to anyone who's read it, but the Bible says some very unpopular things. It takes definite counter-cultural positions on certain hot-button controversies. 10 THORNS tackles ten of these "thorny" topics to see what the Bible does, in fact, say about them and to face them head-on; topics, such as: intolerance, sex and sexism, homosexuality and abortion. Culture's issues with the God the Bible portrays are also addressed. 10 THORNS was written for the person wondering how anyone can believe the Bible, given its difficult teachings. It was also written for the person who believes the Bible but is wondering for himself about its "thorny" teachings. Or perhaps it was written for the person who believes the Bible and is wondering how to build bridges between himself and those who don't believe the Bible -- often because of its "thorns."
