WHY vs WHY Gay Marriage

Rodney Croome (YES) vs Bill Muehlenberg (NO)

WHY vs WHY™ is a unique series of small books that tackle both sides of the hot topics that confront, confuse or trouble most people. For a mainstream audience keen to debate these issues around kitchen tables, in bars, cafes, schools, universities or at work.

Making sense of everything™. This series aims to present everything you need to know about a complex topic in an easy-to-read, jargon-free, 2-books-in-1 format... all in one handy, & pocket-sized place.

Uniquely, our book presents both sides of the battle with equal prominence & space. Each side has its own front cover. But it's you, the reader, who chooses who goes first, not us the publisher.

It's part of Pantera Press’s push to foster debate in this rapidly changing & confusing world, covering a wide range of big issues... topics which for most of us have no simple, easy answers.

In this WHY vs WHY™ , we pit two opposing activists & writers against each other, Rodney Croome & Bill Muehlenberg. They go head-to-head, each presenting 7 key reasons why you should say yes/no to gay marriage.

After each author presents his arguments, his opponent tries to tear each of them apart, both in the book & on this website (with further rebuttals). For readers, we aim to leave nothing unanswered.

Rodney & Bill are good writers with strong, well-argued opinions. Who will you agree with? Will one of them change your mind? Read the book & find out.

In WHY vs WHY™, you get both sides, so you can decide for yourself... The books are also a great tool to help you convince others, people who don't see the light the way you do. Buy them a copy!

Book Reviews

James Valentine, ABC 702: “I think it’s a terrific idea…It’s a series of small but perfectly formed books…it’s a very civil little series of books…  a good way of presenting these sort of issues ”

Carlene Ellwood, The Sunday Tasmanian: "...a balanced approach to controversial issues..."

James Valentine, ABC 702: "I like the way this is presented... a very helpful little series..."

Andie Noonan, Sydney Star Observer: "...the perfect physical embodiment of the gay marriage debate..."

Leigh Dayton, The Weekend Australian: "Each side gets to make its case and rebut its opponent... There's no name-calling or irrational ranting, just the main arguments, pro and con."

Marc McEvoy, The Sun-Herald: "Pantera Press has come up with a great new idea to foster debate on complex topics... a series of pocket-size books that tackle both sides..."

Paul Comrie-Thomson, ABC Radio National's Counterpoint: "...an innovative new series..."

The Two Murrays, Murray Olds & Murray Wilton, Radio 2UE: "... a smart-aleck's guide to winning arguments at the pub...." "I just love it... a quick read, an informative read, and a cheap read... under $20..."

Damien Carrick, ABC Big Ideas: “Each book in the WHY vs WHY series focuses on a hot-button issue... and two prominent thinkers do their best to convince readers to embrace their position.”

Pat McGrath, Business Spectator: "...for those who pride themselves on arguing the facts rather than on pure emotion, a new 'double sided' book from Pantera Press might come in handy – flip the book around one way and read the 'no' case... then flip it over again to read the 'yes' case..."

Amy Henderson, Out in Perth: "If there were ever two people I would never have imagined to co-author a book together it would be Rodney Croome and Bill Muehlenberg... This is a very clever concept from Pantera Press, in which big issues are dissected and both sides presented in a fair and thorough way...a smart and user-friendly little book..."

Father John Flynn, Global Zenit News: "The attack on defenders of heterosexual marriage that they are motivated by religious prejudice is common. A useful reply to this came [from] 'Why vs Why'..."
