Title: Not worth the read
Product review: John Eldredge is writing from a fundamentalist perspective, and is part of the backlash against the feminist movement among other things.The following are my major concerns with Eldredge's book:1) Eldredge speaks right past anthropological scholarship that regards gender as a social construction.2) Eldredge takes stereotypes of masculinity and femininity and makes them normative and ordained by God.3) Furthermore, Eldredge's stereotypes are rooted in sexist notions of manhood and womanhood.4) Eldredge uses decontextualised texts from the Bible to uncritically support his argument.May I suggest an alternative, a book more rooted in Scripture and scholarship than 'Wild at Heart'; namely, 'New Adam' by Philip Culbertson.New Adam: The Future of Male Spirituality
