We have Enoch Burke with us today and I'm excited to talk to Enoch a little bit about John Piper and perhaps

S amalbury as well. Enoch just wrote a book on the is Christian Hedonism and he brought them together in a book called the

heatenism and homosexuality of John Piper and Salma Albury turning the grace of

God into lasciviousness and and this is interesting.

I started reading the first few chapters

and I thought, I got to talk to this guy

because Enoch, one of the questions I've been getting lately

is, what do you think about John Piper? The social justice movement is in full swing in the

United States at least. I'm assuming it is in Great Britain and Ireland as well. Where's John Piper?

Why hasn't he come out against this from people who like John Piper and so when I was reading your book I had some of my own thoughts on this but I thought actually you

What motivated you to write this and where can people go to purchase it?

And if you have a website, go ahead and plug that as well.

Thank you. Yes, no, this book, the title of it is The Hedonism and

grace of God into the city smiths. that's a subtitle I put on the book.

been now over the past, I 15 years or so even though Piper wrote this book back in 1986.

And for me initially as a young person I would have been somewhat taken with with John Piper

and with the you know his doctrine of Christian hedonism as he calls it. And through a number of different, I suppose, guidance from older Christians and so on,
