Lecture by Dr. Ryan Anderson, UD's John Paul II Teaching Fellow

Underlying today's most contentious debates are four essential truths, knowable by reason but so important that God revealed them on the first pages of the Bible: That man is made in the image and likeness of God, that we are created male and female, that male and female are created for each other in marriage, and that we are created for communion with God. Each of these truths was utterly unobjectionable just a few decades ago, and now defending them comes with a cost.  But a cost worth paying, as these are truths essential to human dignity and human flourishing, justice and the common good.
