But the social sciences tell a very different story. Studies find that family men who attend church regularly test out as the most loving husbands and the most engaged fathers. They have the lowest rate of divorce and--here's the real stunner--the \u003ci\u003elowest \u003c\/i\u003erate of domestic violence of any group in America.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe sociological facts explode anti-male stereotypes and show that classic Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior and reconcile the sexes. That's a finding that has stood up to rigorous empirical testing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will equip thinkers and activists to challenge politically correct ideology and bring an evidence-based message of healing into the public square.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNancy Pearcey has written the definitive book on the subject of masculinity for our time.

In this timely and insightful book, she argues that the problem today is not masculinity itself but a secular view of masculinity that has replaced the biblical concept of manhood.

The world, and far too much of the church, are confused on the question of our sexual natures in general, and manhood in particular. Nancy Pearcey provides the decisive defense of masculinity rightly understood--against distortions to the left and the right. She shows why Christianity not only gives the best account of manhood, but also serves to form the sort of men the world and families need.
