5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent, Heartfelt, Traditionalist Response to Same Sex Marriage
By Shane Scott on July 19, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Ryan T. Anderson’s Truth Overruled is an excellent traditionalist response to the same sex marriage (SSM) issue. While Anderson does an great job explaining why the Court’s recent decision was deplorable, this book is not just a screed against the revisionist view of marriage. It also builds a positive case for the venerable natural law understanding of marriage, and it outlines some positive steps traditionalists can take to build a counter-counter-cultural movement.

Chapter 1: Men, Women and Children: The Truth About Marriage, lays out the basic natural law case for the traditional definition of marriage. As Anderson points out, everyone favors marriage equality. The real issue is the definition of marriage itself. The natural law tradition argues that men and women are different, that their sexual organs are natural ordered toward reproduction, and that the same act of reproduction is also unitive. All of this points to a relationship that is mutual, permanent, exclusive, ordered toward raising children. In short - the traditional view of marriage (the “conjugal view” as Anderson calls it). None of this argumentation is inherently religious, much less Catholic, as many of the trolls who claimed to be reviewing the book have argued. These arguments trace back to Aristotle, who was a pagan (in the best sense of that word!), and are shared by a broad cross-section of thinkers. If you have read Anderson’s previously co-authored work with Girgis and George (What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense) this is very familiar territory.

Chapter 2: The Consequences of Redefining Marriage, argues that once the definition of marriage is cut loose from the moorings of male/female sexual complementarity, marriage is reduced to nothing more than contract law.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Thoughtful Approach
By Diane Singer on July 20, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is the book I've been looking for. I told my Sunday School class after the SCOTUS ruling on SSM that we need to prepare ourselves to defend traditional marriage with those who do not accept the Bible as authoritative. Dr. Anderson's book takes such an approach. He brings in information from science, law, philosophy, psychology, and sociology to make the case for traditional marriage (one man, one woman, for life) and for intact biological families as the best environment for raising children. Other reviewers have summarized his work well, so I don't need to repeat that information here. However, I found his explanations of the SCOTUS ruling particularly helpful because they are written in a way that a lay person can understand. He clearly delineates the holes in the arguments of the justices who wrote the majority opinion, while also presenting the long term concerns of those who held the minority opinion -- concerns we should all share. I also found heartbreaking the stories of those people raised in SS households who oppose SSM. Their voices have been ignored, and many of them have been the target of intimidation to prevent them from speaking out.

Now that I've finished reading it once, I plan to read it again while taking notes so I will be prepared for what I hope will be civil and thoughtful conversations with my friends and family members who think SSM is no big deal.

5.0 out of 5 starsTruth always Wins in the long term. Marriage is one man and one woman.
By PastorRog77 on July 20, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
While political maneuvering and judicial activism can achieve much in the short term, truth always wins out in the long term. Marriage always has been and always will be a covenant between one man and one woman as the basis for family and society. Ryan Anderson does a terrific job of exposing the lies of those who want to redefine marriage as well as issues an excellent call to those who would stand on the side of truth to stand up and be heard through intelligent arguments, persistence, and modeling. Read this book if you want to help our wounded nation!

5.0 out of 5 starsTruth Overruled Is a Great Gift
By Kathryn Jean Lopez on July 20, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Ryan T. Anderson has given us a great gift in Truth Overruled. It is a civil roadmap forward. There have been many casualties of the sexual revolution and changing laws would only have this continue. Ryan didn't invent the way to something better, but he maps it out for our current moment clearly, accessibly, and with hope and charity. Consider giving it a read.

By Michael S on July 20, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I bought this book after hearing about the anti-Ryan Anderson campaign and all the one star reviews on Amazon. Interestingly, most of the 1 star reviews appear to have been spawned by the same sort of bigotry and hatred for which Ryan Anderson stands accused.

I'm thankful that there are people like Ryan Anderson who are willing to subjugate themselves to the intense, hateful criticism of the pro-gay marriage crowd, people who, at every turn, rather than engage in debate, resort to name-calling and personal attacks. This book is a thoughtful and persuasive analysis of the Supreme Court decision, as well as a defense of traditional marriage that any American would benefit from reading, wherever you stand on the issue of gay marriage.

Excellent. Truth-tellers are never embraced by a culture that denies truth. Expect Anderson to be opposed vehemently.
