Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity

Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity

â€œâ€¦a sensible, beautiful book . . . bringing us back to hope, to joy, and to gratitude for the divine gift of marriage.â€
â€”The Most Reverend James D. Conley, DD, STL, Bishop of Lincoln

â€œDefending Marriage is just what is needed to convince doubters and give believers reasons to fight on for traditional marriage, without which our culture may not survive.â€
â€”Father C. J. McCloskey III, STD, priest of the prelature of Opus Dei and Research Fellow of the Faith and Reason Institute

"...a profoundly important contribution to the public debate about family, marriage, and who we are."
--Austin Ruse, President, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute

Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity is a rousing, compelling defense of traditional, natural marriage. Here, Anthony Esolenâ€”professor at Providence College and a prolific writer uses moral, theological, and cultural arguments to defend this holy and ancient institution, bedrock of societyâ€”and to illuminate the threats it faces from modern revolutions in law, public policy, and sexual morality.

Inside, discover:
- Traditional marriageâ€™s roots in age-old religious, cultural, and natural laws
- Why gay marriage is a metaphysical impossibility
- How acceptance and legal sanction of gay marriage threatens the family
- How the state becomes a religion when it attempts to elevate gay marriage, and enshrine as a civil right all consensual sex
- How divorce and sexual license have brought marriage to the brink
- How todayâ€™s culture has impoverished and emptied love of its true meaning

In Defending Marriage Esolen expertly and succinctly identifies the cultural dangers of gay marriage and the Sexual Revolution which paved its way. He offers a stirring defense of true marriage, the family, culture, and loveâ€”and provides the compelling arguments that will return us to sanity, and out of our current morass.
