A Review of Raymond Lawrence's New Book

Robert Powell, MD, PhD in his recent Letter to the Editor encouraged PR readers to "Aim your web browser’s search engine toward “Raymond J. Lawrence,” and you’ll find references to his books and articles soon enough."

George Hull did just that and found a review of Raymond's Lawrence's Book, Sexual Liberation: The Scandal of Christendom to which Dr. Powell referred.

This particular review is written by J. Harold Ellens. Among many remarks he makes about the book he picks up on Dr. Donald Capps and his high regard for Lawrence's work. The reviewer writes:

Donald Capps declares that what makes Lawrence's book so important and readable is not only its tough-minded truth-telling regarding the sex-aversion of Christianity and the destruction that has wreaked upon human lives; but the fact that there are bright spots in this volume which couple an openness to sexual freedom with a lighthearted sense of humor. The generally non-strident tone of this entire work makes it all the more attractive and believable.
