People are constantly judged for their sexual choices, their frequency of sexual activity, their selection of partners, and their decisions regarding birth control, and much of this judgment stems from the element of culture perhaps most preoccupied with sex: religion. Focusing principally on Christianity, What the Bible Really Does (and Doesn't Say) about Sex examines the arguments religious moralizers and sanctimonious politicians make to condone or condemn certain sexual practices and lifestyles.

Solid biblical exposition, obvious bias, and quick reading.

A Mixed Bag
Revisado: 03-01-23
For the good: the breadth of the topic is well though briefly sketched, some of the scholarship is insightful. For the bad: the narration goes very quickly, making it hard to follow aurally, and many statements are simply untrue, perhaps due to a lack of familiarity with other parts of scripture. For example, the author's assertion that the Bible nowhere says all children are a blessing is easily refuted by Psa. 127:3, despite an insinuation that the passage only refers to sons because of the martial context. If so, this would undermine the author's early assertion, well founded, that Jael and other women were warriors in their own right. But that is only one example. So, the conclusions are suspect although the scope of investigation is appreciated. No doubt, many errors of interpretation have been made in the past. Unfortunately, this seems a continuation of the same. Had the promise of the title been followed rather than a descent into critical judgment and didacticism, it would have been appreciated more.

In a landmark work of history, Russell Shorto presents astonishing information on the founding of our nation and reveals in riveting detail the crucial role of the Dutch in making America what it is today.

Incomplete history, but fun. Performance is poor.

History told like a novel
Revisado: 12-27-21
Such a fascinating journey through the soap opera of life under the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Insightful and inspiring. Plus a new, to most, heroic forefather : Adriaen van der Donck, Dutch-American writer and political visionary.
