  <abstract>Suddenly, same-sex marriage is legal. And most pastors and believers were caught by surprise. But they shouldn't have been. The judicial decision and race to the altars of Massachusetts on May 17 was not sudden at all. It was the culmination of a carefully orchestrated agenda planned for years and executed with precision. Why couldn't the church stop it? Perhaps more importantly, how should the church respond today? With fury? With love? With the Truth of Scripture? The Truth About Same-Sex Marriage is a starting point for truly understanding all sides of this issue. And in its pages are a few surprises of its own. Respected pastor and theologian Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer brings new insight into the workings of the well-organized gay activist agenda, the impact same-sex marriage will have on families, children and the church, and the biblical response from caring Christians.</abstract>
