1) "Black Lives Matter" (BLM and Racism)
2) "Love is Love" (LGBTQ+)
3) "The New Gay-Rights Movement is the New Civil-Rights Movement" (Intersectional political LGBTQ+)
4) "Women's Rights are Human Rights" (Feminism)
5) "Transgender Women are Women" (Transgenderism)
In addressing all these, McLaughlin states an orthodox opinion. However, she does so without actually dealing with the issues, but rather assumes the veracity of liberal presuppositions. She fails to think biblically. Instead of addressing the racism inherent in BLM and its victimization mentality, she puts the blame fully on "white Christians." Instead of addressing what true love actually is, she states that in Christ, there is a deeper love more than sex (true but insufficient). Instead of addressing the falsehood of intersectional leftism, she merely rejects the view that the "gay-rights" movement is in continuity with the civil-rights movement. On feminism, she pits the older feminism with the new and shows that Christianity is pro-women (which does not really address the problem of feminism). Lastly, she states the created reality of male and female, but merely mourns gender dysphoria without giving a true diagnosis of the problem.
McLaughlin's book is therefore an exercise in holding an orthodox position without holding a biblical worldview that can address the problems in the church. As such, it does not truly address the issues biblically, and her solutions should be therefore rejected.… (more)
