Help for Questioning Christians by John Whitehead is a guide for Christians to recent scholarly writing on key moral issues such as the Prosperity Gospel, abortion, euthanasia, homosexual sexual activity, physician-assisted suicide, the death penalty, and Christian nationalism. While many official church documents assert that several of these issues are immoral and sinful, there are theologians and other scholars who offer positions that justify such actions, based on lack of biblical support or a different line of theological reasoning. This book explains these approaches and compares them to traditional answers. The book does not endorse positions but leaves it to each reader to try to make an informed decision about each issue.

He is the co-author of Ethics in Criminal Justice: In Search of the Truth (2020), Sexual Abuse Within the Church (2022), and Teaching Justice (2020).
