The masculine mandate

There is a crying need in the church today for men to be men. But competing visions for what a man is to be -- some growing out of popular culture and others arising from flawed teaching in the church -- are exacerbating the problem. Rev. Richard D. Phillips believes the problem and the inadequate solutions being put forward demand sound exegesis of biblical passages relating to masculinity. The Bible alone has the answer for what men are to be in the eyes of their Creator. In this book, Rev. Phillips provides this essential exegesis and issues a call for reformation in the evangelical church's attitude toward the role of men in the family, the church, and society. - Jacket.
