Synopsis

Malestrom builds on and expands previous books by Carolyn Custis  James to explore the idea of manhood, a growing issue both in the wider culture and in the church. Until now, the entire discussion has been largely reduced to Western conceptions. Instead, James here shows how our culture’s narrow definitions of manhood are upended when we consider the examples of men in the Bible and Jesus’ gospel. Together, they show a whole new Kingdom way of being male and forging men and women into the Blessed Alliance.

Goodreads review by Josh on April 22, 2022

Before there was Kristin Kobes Du Mez and Beth Allison Barr, there was Carolyn Custis James. I don’t know what the general reaction to the original 2015 version of Malestrom: Manhood Swept into the Current of a Changing World was. I know that it had a big, personal effect on me. I have preached on w......more

Goodreads review by Kenneth on March 12, 2017

I suspect that those who are wholeheartedly sold on a more egalitarian view (as the proper expression re. gender relations) of the Christian faith, or those who find complementarianism deeply troubling will find this book very encouraging, and supportive of their views. However, I was disappointed t......more

FOREWARD TO THE REVIEW. {{I actually had to read this book twice to get the full effect, once right after the other. I have to admit, I started from a bias. There’s a lot of talk about the gender debate going on right now; some of it necessary, and some of it is not. I was leery as I approached this......more
