Malestrom : How Jesus Dismantles Patriarchy And Redefines Manhood

This is a message that the church desperately needs to hear and take to heart.–Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne.

Like the danger of a maelstrom in the open seas, a relentless force threatens our culture. This maelstrom swirls with currents that produce confused and distorted images of manhood perpetuated by our society and even by the church.

Digging deeply into the stories of incredible men in the Bible, Malestrom offers what we so desperately need–a biblical, global, timeless vision of manhood that is big enough to encompass the diversity of men’s lives and strong enough to withstand the contingencies they face.

In doing so, Malestrom tells the story of how God dismantles patriarchy in the Bible. Buried in the stories of marginalized men in the Bible is a revolutionary new vision of manhood that is good news for men. Written for men and women, and ideal for both personal or group study, Malestrom offers a redemptive, hope-filled, gospel-centered perspective on what it means to be a man.
