Announcing The Courage to Speak for Pre-order
16th January 2025 Extremis Publishing is delighted to announce the forthcoming release of The Courage to Speak: Sex, Sexuality and the Church by the Rev. Dr Alasdair Black. This highly anticipated new book by theologian Alasdair Black offers a thought-provoking exploration of changing social attitudes towards sex and sexuality, while challenging readers to adapt to these shifts with grace, empathy, and a commitment to faith-based values. In a nuanced and compassionate discussion of these pressing issues, the author explores the evolution of societal attitudes towards gender, identity, and relationships; the tension between traditional Christian values and contemporary perspectives; practical suggestions for fostering inclusion and understanding within communities; and strategies for navigating difficult conversations about sex and sexuality without compromising core beliefs. Dr Black is a highly respected writer and speaker with decades of experience addressing faith-based issues in the context of contemporary society. Known for his ability to engage audiences with clarity and understanding, Dr Black has become a leading voice in promoting thoughtful dialogue on challenging topics. For over twenty years, he has been the Senior Pastor of Stirling Baptist Church. The Courage to Speak is available for pre-order from independent bookstores and online retailers, with a release date of Friday 31st January 2025.
