Moral Combat

"Moral Combat" by R. Marie Griffith explores the historical roots of America's most divisive political debates over sex, tracing them back to disagreements among American Christians that began in the 1920s. The book examines how the decline of a once-unified Christian stance on gender and morality led to intense political conflicts over issues like gay marriage, transgender rights, and reproductive choices. Through this history, Griffith shows how evolving moral visions have shaped and fueled ongoing cultural battles in modern America.
