About this listen

The Western church has gone feminist. God has given men authority in the home, church, and society. Yet the church has rebelled against God’s design and embraced the unbelieving world’s teaching that women should take on the same roles and duties as men rather than focus on the home and children. Christian scholarship and Bible commentaries are dominated by feminist arguments that both husband and wife should submit to each other (“mutual submission”), that women may be pastors and preach sermons to men, and that the Apostle Paul’s teaching on men and women was limited to Greco-Roman culture and has been transcended by our unity in Christ.

Sadly, the conservative response to feminism—complementarianism—compromised several historic Christian teachings and has thus given feminism an even stronger foothold in the church. Many complementarians fail to root gender roles in the differing natures of men and women. As a result, they have refused to apply the Bible’s teaching about men and women beyond the home and church, leading to the embrace of women in civil office and military combat. In addition, the vast majority of complementarians have adopted the novel interpretation of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 (“the women should keep silent in the churches”) that Paul only prohibited women from evaluating prophecy, which has opened the door to women preaching and teaching men in the church.

The result is that the Western church has become effeminate and weak. Pastors are afraid to teach important Bible passages on the roles and duties of men and women, and it is no surprise that young Christian women are trading babies for careers outside the home and that churches are regularly capitulating to subversions of biblical sexual ethics. What the church needs is to recover its masculine calling, where men embrace their God-given authority—and responsibility—in the home, church, and society. This book affirms the historic Christian teaching on men and women, critiques feminist scholarship, and urges complementarians to hold a more robust and consistent position. This is a call to return to the Bible’s teaching on men and women. This is a call to Masculine Christianity.

Amazing book- hard truth

This is my second review after listening again. I couldn’t recommend this book more but I would be hard pressed to recommend this narrator. His accents for quotes and terrible “whiny-ness” completely undermines the seriousness of the text. If I was the author, I would insist on a re-reading. It’s embarrassing. The text itself is the best thing I’ve read to date on the subject.

A call to lead well as men

In a world twisted by the lies of Satan and the tools of feminists, this book serves his excellent primer to godly men to pick up the mantle of responsibility that God has called them towards. Not just in the church, but in the family and world as well.

Step it up men and fulfill your masculine role.

Must read

Every American needs to read or listen to this book. The history and theology laid out give a great picture of where we were, where we've been, and where we are as a nation and a church.

A must read for every Christian man

Garris teaches what you won’t hear in the vast majority of churches these days, Godly biblical gender roles and he does an outstanding job of it.

Absolutely a MUST READ for serious Christian Men!

Loved every minute of this book and the audible performance was fantastic and made it all the better. This book covers all the ground that you would ever want to cover concerning masculine (biblical) Christianity and combating feminism and other unbiblical, secular views which seek to destroy masculinity and Christianity altogether. The Biblical/textual exegesis is phenomenal and irrefutable and leaves no room for egalitarianism or even soft complimentarianism. It's time to get back to the biblical patriarchy as God designed and proclaims in his word. Stand up Christian men and lead your families and the world!

Pass

I’d suggest passing this book by. Garris is relatively fresh out of seminary and his limited time as a pastor and with life experience shows in this book. He also went to law school and this book is written as if a client hired him to write a legal brief defending Patriarchy, even if it meant quoting and following the logic of the slavery apologist Robert Dabney. There’s very little respect for the widely held complementarian views of his own PCA denomination in this book and you can be sure that he will decide every difficult passage in favor of Patriarchy.

The narrator’s attempts to imitate various foreign accents is laughably bad. It’s unclear if the mocking tone is his own or the authors.

This would be better to be read, instead of listened

I was unable to finish it. So far, the content was good, however, to follow it you must pause, takes notes, read the Bible, read again. Definitely would not recommend it as an audiobook.
Plus, the narrator's accents when reading quotes was really annoying and distracting.
