We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
In the first book to respond to the Supreme Courts decision on same-sex marriage, Ryan Anderson draws on the best philosophy and social science to explain what marriage is, why it matters for public policy, and the consequences of its legal redefinition.
Attacks on religious liberty have already begun, and modest efforts to protect believers rights have met with hysterics from media and corporate elites. Innocent citizens have been coerced and penalized by the government, and Anderson offers a strategy to protect the natural right of religious liberty.
Gathering the latest scholarly research on same-sex parenting, Anderson adds a human face to the statistics with the testimony of children raised by gays and lesbians. He closes with a comprehensive roadmap on how to rebuild a culture of marriage, with work to be done by everyone.
The nations leading defender of marriage in the media and on university campuses, Ryan Anderson has produced the must-read manual on where to go from here. There are reasonable and compelling arguments for the truth about marriage, but too many of our neighbors havent heard them. Truth is never on the wrong side of history, but we have to make the case.

PRAISE FOR
TRUTH OVERRULED
Every leader in America needs to read this book! Its by far the best summary of whats at stake, combining rigorous research, solid documentation, and brilliant analysis of the implications. Ryan Anderson has written a tour de force.
Dr. Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life and pastor of Saddleback Church
Ryan Anderson is our nations most compelling and courageous defender of marriage as the union of husband and wife, and of the rights of people who share that belief to express and act on it in their civic, professional, religious, and personal lives. In Truth Overruled : The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom he charts the path forward for those of us who refuse to yield to the destruction of marriage and who will not be bullied into acquiescence or silence.
Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University
Novelist Walker Percy said of the abortion rights movement a generation ago: You may get your way. But youre going to be told what youre doing. And ever since Roe v. Wade , pro-lifers have been telling abortionists that abortion stops a beating heart. When it comes to the question of marriage and family, Ryan Anderson is a Walker Percy for a new day. Anderson is the brightest intellectual star in the pro-marriage movement. He seeks to persuade and provoke with reason, logic, and honesty. Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom will equip you to bear witness to ancient convictions in a strange new world.
Russell D. Moore, Ph.D., Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Southern Baptist Convention
Ryan Andersons presence among us at a time such as thisas evidenced most recently by this bookis nothing less than profoundly encouraging and inspiring to all of us who know that our dear country has lost its way. If we can find a path out of our current Slough of Despond, it will be in large part due to winsome heroes like him. Read this book.
Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
With the social and legal significance of marriage in debate as never before, and with religious freedom at risk of becoming a second-class right, Ryan Andersons book could not be more timely. His well-documented analysis of the likely implications of redefining a basic social institution plus his sober forecast of coming inroads on freedom of conscience and religion should give pause to all but the most hardened ideologues. At the same time, his roadmap for fortifying the rights of conscience while rebuilding a culture of marriage will provide encouragement to all who are concerned about Americas moral ecology.
Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University
It takes great courage and extraordinary eloquence to effectively defend the truth about marriage in the public square today, and Ryan Anderson has both. All Americans who are rightly concerned about the future of marriage and religious liberty are greatly indebted to him for this important book.
Rabbi Meir Y. Soloveichik, Ph.D., Director of the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University
We live at a privileged moment: a time for what Bonhoeffer called costly grace; a time for Christians to bear witness to the truth in the public square. Ryan Anderson has been doing this courageously for several years now. His new book, Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom , is vital reading for anyone seeking to defend the goodness that remains in our nation, and our rights to live in accord with the truth.
Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia

To my mom and dad, who taught me always to tell the truth, and who have been living the truth about marriage for over fifty years.
CONTENTS
W ith its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges , the Supreme Court of the United States has brought the sexual revolution to its apexa redefinition of our civilizations primordial institution, cutting its link to procreation and declaring sex differences meaningless. The court has usurped the authority of the people, working through the democratic process, to define marriage. And it has shut down debate just as we were starting to hear new voicesgay people who agree that children need their mother and their father, and children of same-sex couples who wish they knew both their mom and dad.
If the polls are right, there has also been an astonishingly swift change in public opinion. Most Americans now think that justice, equality, or at least good manners requires redesigning marriage to fit couples (and at this point, just couples) of the same sex. Or at least theyve been intimidated into saying so.
I argue here that we are sleepwalking into an unprecedented cultural and social revolution. A truth acknowledged for millennia has been overruled by five unelected judges. The consequences will extend far beyond those couples newly able to obtain a marriage license.
If the law teaches a falsehood about marriage, it will make it harder for people to live out the truth of marriage. Marital norms make no sense, as a matter of principle, if what makes a marriage is merely intense emotional feeling, an idea captured in the bumper-sticker slogan Love makes a family. There is no reason that mere consenting adult love has to be permanent or limited to two persons, much less sexually exclusive. And so, as people internalize this new vision of marriage, marriage will be less and less a stabilizing force.
But if fewer people live out the norms of marriage, then fewer people will reap the benefits of the institution of marriagenot only spouses, but also children. Preserving the man-woman definition of marriage is the only way to preserve the benefits of marriage and avoid the enormous societal risks accompanying a genderless marriage regime. How can the law teach that fathers are essential, for instance, when it has officially made them optional?
The essence of marriage as a male-female union, however, has become an unwelcome truth. Indeed, a serious attempt is well under way to define opposition to same-sex marriage as nothing more than irrational bigotry. If that attempt succeeds, it will pose the most serious threat to the rights of conscience and religious freedom in American history.
