In the illustration on pornography in this issue, Al Mohler cites the book Wired for Intimacy: How Pornography Hijacks the Male Brain (IVP). In the article, Mohler says it is “a timely and important book. Struthers offers keen and strategic insights from neurobiology and psychology. But what makes this book truly helpful is the fact that Struthers neither leaves his argument to neuroscience, nor does he use the category of addiction to mitigate the sinfulness of viewing pornography.”
Speaking of cultural change and technology, one of the major social problems of our day is pornography. Polls show that a large percentage of pastors and church leaders also have fallen prey to porn. In the book Wired for Intimacy: How Pornography Hijacks the Male Brain (IVP), neuroscientist William M. Struthers helps us understand why more and more men are becoming addicted to porn, as it crafts their brains to deepen the addiction. He offers research-informed solutions to help men break their bondage to pornography.
