In Double-Minded, Mark Durie explores the impact of the sexual revolution and changing sexual ethics upon Australian Christians, and how diverse responses to these changes are informed by differences in church governance and theology. He argues that a parting of the ways among Christians is driven by divergent understandings of what it means to be human. This timely book draws attention to deep ethical challenges facing Australian society.
