Summary

Sean and I talk about his new book "Chasing Love" which is due to come out in Dec 2020. We focus largely on the contents of this book but we also dive deep into the so-called purity movement and clear up some misunderstands. We also weigh the pros and cons of that movement and try to construct a positive way forward.

0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the RAW. I have back on the show today,
0:05.6	Sean McDowell, Dr. Sean McDowell. He's got a PhD in apologetics and worldview studies from
0:09.6	Southern seminary, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Two MAs, one in Philosophy,
0:14.4	one in theology, both from Talbot School of Theology. He is an associate professor at Biola
0:22.0	University in Talbot School of Theology. He's a writer, he's a speaker, he's an apologist,
0:27.2	meaning he specializes in defending the faith. Sean's been a good friend over the years. He's
0:34.5	just an absolute cool dude. He's super humble. Yes, he comes from the line of the McDowell's,
0:42.5	namely Josh McDowell, who is one of the most popular Christian authors in the 20th century.
0:48.4	So Sean and I talk about his fourth coming book, Chasing Love, Sex Love and Relationships
0:56.3	in a confused culture. Now, some of you might remember that his dad, Josh McDowell, was a huge
1:06.2	advocate. I'll see how I'm going to get it wrong because he actually clarified some of this.
1:09.8	I always assume that Josh McDowell was a main leader in the so-called Peerity Movement.
1:17.3	But Sean actually added some correctives to that early on in this podcast you'll see because
1:23.4	I've spoken out somewhat critically of the Peerity Movement as many of you would probably also speak
1:31.3	out critically of it, not that there wasn't some good things in it or some good goals, but there
1:36.0	was just some themes that were unhelpful. We talked about that in this podcast. But yeah,
1:41.6	anyway, my big question to Sean was, hey, is this book basically kind of another Peerity book?
1:47.4	And he, well, yeah, you'll see how he enters that. It's a little more complicated than I thought
1:52.9	it was going to be. So it was really helpful. Hey, if you'd like to support the show,
1:56.5	you can go to patreon.com forward slash theology in the raw support to show for his little five bucks
2:00.8	a month and get access to premium content. Is that it? I thought I had another announcement. Maybe
2:08.0	that's it. I don't know. Here's my mind here. Hey, let's dig into this. Please welcome back to
