Do you wish you had a better answer for those who ask why Christians seem so "intolerant" toward our gay neighbors? Are you unsure how to witness to and pray for a gay coworker or friend? Or maybe you've found yourself wondering if we can really be sure what our Father actually thinks about all this. Is God's word to our homosexual neighbors clear? Or have social conservatives stretched things beyond what the Bible actually says? If you're looking for clear, practical biblical guidance for thinking and talking about homosexuality and same-sex marriage as a Christian, then The Truth with Love is for you. Written by David Vogel, the host of the Answers for Ambassadors podcast, this short book is packed with Bible references and written in an accessible, conversational format to equip you to give an answer to those who ask. "An excellent introduction to this crucial issue." -- Marvin Olasky, editor-in-chief for World The Truth with Love begins with a look at the Bible's consistent message, from Genesis to Revelation, about sex, marriage, and homosexuality. Chapter 3 tackles the tough question of why a loving God would forbid same-sex sexual intimacy, giving a thoughtful answer for Christians and non-Christians alike who struggle with this question. Chapter 4 considers what Bible-believing Christians should say to homosexual friends and neighbors, depending on whether they are professing believers and whether they are repentant. Finally, Chapter 5 takes a look at the thorny legal questions of same-sex marriage and nondiscrimination laws and what a Christian citizen can and should do.

The Politics of Precaution examines the politics of consumer and environmental risk regulation in the United States and Europe over the last five decades, explaining why America and Europe have often regulated a wide range of similar risks differently. It finds that between 1960 and 1990, American health, safety, and environmental regulations were more stringent, risk averse, comprehensive, and innovative than those adopted in Europe. But since around 1990, the book shows, global regulatory leadership has shifted to Europe. What explains this striking reversal? David Vogel takes an in-depth, comparative look at European and American policies toward a range of consumer and environmental risks, including vehicle air pollution, ozone depletion, climate change, beef and milk hormones, genetically modified agriculture, antibiotics in animal feed, pesticides, cosmetic safety, and hazardous substances in electronic products. He traces how concerns over such risks--and pressure on political leaders to do something about them--have risen among the European public but declined among Americans. Vogel explores how policymakers in Europe have grown supportive of more stringent regulations while those in the United States have become sharply polarized along partisan lines. And as European policymakers have grown more willing to regulate risks on precautionary grounds, increasingly skeptical American policymakers have called for higher levels of scientific certainty before imposing additional regulatory controls on business.

Vogel challenges conventional wisdom that trade liberalization and agreements promoting free trade undermine national health, safety, and environmental standards. He analyzes international and regional trade agreements and treaties, unraveling the important and contentious relationship between trade and environmental, health, and safety standards.

In the highly praised The Market for Virtue , David Vogel presents a clear, balanced analysis of the contemporary corporate social responsibility (CSR) movement in the United States and Europe.

"Government health, safety, and environmental standards have, in the past two decades, often created barriers to international trade. These non-tariff barriers have become the focus of trade disputes, negotiations, and agreements. This book explains the dynamics of conflict and cooperation over consumer and environmental regulation between the European Union and the United States. It explores the most celebrated cases of transatlantic conflicts over regulatory standards-the EU's beef hormone and legtrap bans, and America's fuel economy regulations-as well as the successes of the two partners in coordinating rules for chemical and drug testing, animal inspection, and the reduction of ozone-depleting chemicals.David Vogel argues that transatlantic regulatory conflict has less to do with protectionism and more to do with deeply rooted differences in cultural values and political priorities in Europe and the United States. These differences, he explains, constitute a fundamental and ongoing source of trade conflict between the EU and the U.S.The pattern of EU-U.S. regulatory relations has important implications, not only for the United States and Western Europe, but for the entire global economy. Whatever regulatory standards both adopt become de facto global standards. According to Vogel, the most important challenge for the U.S. and the EU is to promote and strengthen international regulatory cooperation. Each needs to pay more attention to their common interests in promoting international trade and improving global standards than to their often heated differences over particular consumer and environmental policies."
