The NY Times recently reviewed Daniel Bergner's The Other Side of Desire, a book based on a series of conversations and interviews with the sexually perverted--although the book questions calling them perverted, and that is precisely the problem Douglas Groothuis has with the book and the review. Click here for Groothuis's analysis of the situation.
His conclusion:
America and the West is becoming increasingly perverted--and increasingly unable to even consider the category of moral perversion against any objective and God-given standard. We should have compassion for those twisted by abnormal desires and those defaced by aberrant behavior. They are made in God's image and should receive our love and concern. But we cannot bless the thing that perverts and pervades our culture: everything is relative; you cannot judge; you cannot offer objective, moral truth. May God have mercy on us and renew us again.
