The Good Name by Samuel T. Logan, Jr. examines the damage that false witness, harsh speech, and verbal conflict can cause among Christians. Logan encourages readers to consider how their words affect individuals, the church, and the good name of Jesus.
Drawing on Scripture and church history, Logan explores what it means to be a faithful and truthful witness. He emphasizes the Christian responsibility to speak about others with honesty, respect, charity, and concern for the honor of Christ.
Christians often hold convictions strongly, which can turn disagreements into occasions for unhelpful or destructive speech. Logan offers biblical guidance and practical examples for expressing disagreement in ways that honor Jesus and love one's neighbor.
The book applies these principles to controversial subjects such as abortion, evolution, same-sex marriage, women in church leadership, trauma and abuse, and social justice, showing how speech can both harm and heal.
