WHY vs WHY: Gay Marriage

Rodney Croome

Bill Muehlenberg

In this WHY vs WHY™ , we pit two opposing activists & writers against each other, Rodney Croome (Yes) & Bill Muehlenberg (No). 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!

 

“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…in which big issues are dissected and both sides presented in a fair and thorough way…a smart and user-friendly little book…” – Amy Henderson, Out in Perth

More about the author

“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.”

“…a balanced approach to controversial issues…”

“I like the way this is presented… a very helpful little series…”

“…the perfect physical embodiment of the gay marriage debate…”

“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.”

“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…”

“… 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…”

“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.”

“…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…”

“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…”

“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’…”
