Keep the Faith Volume II: On Family and Sexuality is a short work with excerpts from church fathers on the topics of Marriage & Divorce, Abortion & Contraception, and Homosexuality. Swanson features a number of chro nologically-arranged quotes from men such as Polycarp, Bede, Martin Luther, Justin Martyr, John Calvin, John, Knox, Jerome, and others, showing the historical stances certain men have taken throughout church history up to the present day. Linking together the breakdown of faith in the West with progressive social norms in the area of family, morality, and sexuality, the author levels an accusation of apostasy towards today's Western nations. 130 pages, imitation leather over hardcover.
Abortion. Feminism. “Gay” marriage. Homosexuality. These are the hot-button issues in the post-Christian, apostate, Western world. One by one, entire denominations are subscribing to these politically-correct sins that form the zeitgeist in the West. Contemporary Christian music stars are endorsing homosexual marriage. Presbyterians, Anglicans, Lutherans, and Mennonites are ordaining homosexual clergy. At least one third of the world’s population has been aborted since 1960, largely due to the feminist movement of the last century. Millions of young women from Christian homes are trained in feminism by universities across the country. After the damage has been done by the false worldviews of humanism, existentialism, feminism, and sexual and gender autonomy, will there be any Christian churches and Christian families still standing? Will anybody stand with the Apostles, the Apostolic Fathers, the Church Fathers, the Reformers, and the church of the ages on the most critical issues of the day? Who will keep the faith, and who will keep the commandments of God? These are questions of monumental import. May God use this little book to solidify the faith of many over the next century. This volume contains quotations from Clement, Polycarp, Ignatius, Barnabas, The Didache, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Eusebius, Jerome, Augustine, Bede, Peter Damian, John Chrysostom, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Calvin, John Knox, Richard Baxter, William Gouge, John Wesley, and others.
