"An insightful, Bible-based take on relations between women and men. "--Publisher' s Weekly"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.
By surveying the diverse biblical landscape with wisdom, insight, and conviction, Carolyn Custis James calls for a Christ-centered understanding of ' male, ' where men and women are equal image bearers of God, truly one flesh, and thus coworkers in the mission of God on earth. James' s Malestrom is a prophetic and healing voice. --Peter Enns, Eastern University In Malestrom, Carolyn Custis James takes us by the hand and leads us through the story of how God dismantles patriarchy in the Bible. By the time we' re done reading, a new space has been cleared. Men can now be men. Women can now be women. And together we can live God' s gendered salvation. It is a remarkable accomplishment. "--David Fitch, Northern Seminary Malestrom takes a close and provocative look at the dangers of patriarchy by taking a close look at what Scripture says about it. This book will lead you to ponder the type of person God asks all of us --- male and female --- to be. It is a good question to meditate on. --Darrell Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary This conversation is long overdue within the global church today. A timely, well-articulated, and thought-provoking book!--Abraham George, International Justice Mission With her characteristic warmth and wisdom, Carolyn Custis James examines manhood through the lens of Jesus Christ and offers a better way forward for men, a way characterized by partnership, joy, and humility. --Rachel Held Evans, author
