About the Book
In recent years, there has been a lot of debate and discussion about gender ideology, sexuality, and gender identity. Many Christians are struggling to understand either where God stands on these issues or how they should respond. Ancient Answers to Modern Questions provides a novel biblical perspective on these topics and offers practical advice for Christians on how to engage with them in a loving and compassionate way.
In "Ancient Answers To Modern Questions," we explore the pressing issues of our time: radical feminism, the equality movement, the transgender movement, gender fluidity, and the LGBTQIA+ question at large. And draw upon biblical texts to shed light on these matters, emphasizing that God is not silent on these important topics. This book serves as a bridge between timeless biblical wisdom and the evolving discourse of our modern society.
For anyone struggling with their body in any way, my message to you is that you are not alone, we are all in this together. We are all groaning in one way or another for the redemption and transformation of our earthly bodies. You are an infinite being trapped in a finite body, an immortal soul trapped in a mortal body, a pure spirit trapped in a corrupt body, a redeemable soul trapped in a doomed body; and the frustrations of this entrapment and misalignments manifest in so many different and unimaginable ways Book Excerpt
Notable Reviews:
Ancient Answers to Modern Questions is a must-read for all those wanting to gain a new perspective to approach the complicated subject of gender identity, worldview, and culture confusion. Increase writes insightfully with exhaustive research, yet at times it's almost as if he is receiving dictation from the Holy Spirit. His growth and maturity in his knowledge and truths of the Bible are an inspiration. His faith has empowered the reality of what he believes to become a manifestation in his life and brings understanding to all who read it! I love this quote, "I think a caveat to women submitting to the man is the man submitting to God." Holly W. Smith, Author of "Cracked Pots: Allowing God to turn your flaws into blessings."
You are going to want to read this book for different reasons than you might imagine. With the release of this publication, Increase has introduced himself to us as a very capable teacher, an interesting storyteller, and an often controversial interpreter of both biblical truth and current events. He occasionally confronts the "Christian status quo" in a disarming and humble fashion, yet never speaks in a condescending manner to those who hold different opinions.
This is NOT simply a generic and predictable recap of how far society has strayed from traditional values, told from an American evangelical perspective. Instead, it is an extraordinary and unique attack on some of the conventional mindsets that have held Christians from speaking up as their values are belittled and their God maligned, in the name of "progress."
Although the emphasis of this account centers on the issues of gender, identity politics, and current events, Increase deftly navigates through the "white noise" of mainstream news with a laser-like, naked appraisal of what's really at issue here: the erosion of our ability to question authority.
This book is somewhat of a systematic theology, wrapped in a brief, easy-to-read format. His observations are insightful and provocative, causing me to react in a "Hey, wait a minute, I am not sure you are right" manner, on occasion. Despite this, I was intrigued by his thoughts and swept along by his writing.
