I was a bit late getting round to it but I’ve finally sat down to read Aimee Byrd’s “The Sexual Reformation all the way through. The premise of the book is that we’ve got our understanding of sex, gender and sexuality all messed up and certain elements of conservative evangelicalism -specifically the Campaign for Biblical… Continue reading The Sexual Reformation (Book Review)
