The Secular Creed: Engaging Five Contemporary Claims

By: Rebecca McLaughlin

Narrated by: Rebecca McLaughlin

"In this house we believe that: Black Lives Matter, Love Is Love, Gay Rights Are Civil Rights, Women’s Rights Are Human Rights, Transgender Women Are Women".

You may have seen signs with some of these messages in your neighborhood. They offer us an all-or-nothing package deal - in short, a secular creed. In this provocative audiobook, Rebecca McLaughlin helps us disentangle the beliefs Christians gladly affirm from those they cannot embrace, and invites us to talk with our neighbors about the things that matter most. Far from opposing love across difference, McLaughlin argues, Christianity is the original source and firmest foundation for true diversity, equality, and life-transforming love.

Helpful book

This book was a great encouragement. There are so many cultural issues to navigate, yet biblical love is crucial.

Timely and hopeful

Struggling to understand how to stand in this moment in history and the cultural divide as a loving, truth telling and truth listening Christian. Rebecca thoughtfully, patiently and lovingly sheds light on the scriptures that show us love and tell us truth. An excellent read. Thought provoking. Still chewing on it.

A must read to engage with our world as it is now.

She touched on so many hot topics that our society is facing and how to engage them well as a believer

A must read for today’s church

Grace filled truth with an acknowledgement of where the church has fallen short. Kudos to McLaughlin for researching and tackling these difficult topics.

So thoughtful and well written!

The author writes so grounded, exemplifying grace and truth. I appreciate that it’s short and too the point as well.
