Is the debate about marriage over after the Supreme Courts June decision to redefine marriage in all fifty states? Thats what some Amazon.com reviewers are insisting after a new book was released last week.
The book, Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom, is a roadmap from Ryan Anderson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, on how the conservative movement can move forward in promoting marriage and protecting religious freedom after the Supreme Courts ruling.
I wrote this book for all Americans. For those who disagree with me, to at least understand the viewpoint of roughly half the nation, Anderson told The Daily Signal. For those who agree, to better understand the nature of the debate and the reasons supporting the truth. For those undecided, to get one thoughtful take on what the future should hold.
As of Saturday, Andersons book has received over 120 reviews. It average rank is 3.4 of 5 stars with 40 percent of reviewers leaving a 1 star rating.
Howd this come about? Opponents worked social media outlets to orchestrate a campaign of negative reviews of Andersons book, often attacking the author personally.
As of Sunday, only one of the 49 one-star reviews was a verified purchase reviews, which gives potential customers authenticity that the reviewer has purchased the material. By contrast, 35 of the 76 5-star reviews are from verified purchasers. Several of the 1-star reviews insist the debate is over and that Andersons claims are a deadly defense of dying worldview.

I am at no pains to defend him against the many deprecations that are heaped on him, no doubt deserved to one degree or another, yet I'm not swayed by these from my appreciation of his thinking.
