Bestselling author and cultural commentator explores the history of masculinity, the rise of the "toxic masculinity" conversation, and the paradigm-shifting sociological evidence showing that Christianity provides a better blueprint—and better real-world outcomes—when it comes to solving the problem of toxic behavior in men.
ADA, Mich., June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks a headline in the Washington Post. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled I Hate Men, No Good Men, and Are Men Necessary?
How did an ideology arise that condemns masculinity as dangerous and destructive?
Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey has a knack for tackling the tough issues of our day. A former agnostic, Pearcey was hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual." In The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes (Baker Books, June 27, 2023), Pearcey takes readers on a fascinating romp through American history to discover how the secular script for masculinity turned toxic—and what action we can take to fix it.
Pearcey then digs into sociological facts to demonstrate the power of classic Christianity to reconcile the sexes. She equips thinkers and activists to challenge politically correct ideology and bring an evidence-based message of healing into the public square.
"Nancy Pearcey has written the definitive book on the subject of masculinity for our time. She masterfully and compellingly weaves as true and accurate a picture as imaginable on this most vital of subjects. In so doing she provides great clarity and hope, pointing the way forward. A magnificent achievement."
—Eric Metaxas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther, Is Atheism Dead? and Letter to the American Church; host of Socrates in the City and The Eric Metaxas Show
