Church Impotent (Podles - paperback)

Binding: paperback

Section: Christianity-General

In all the discussion of women’s roles in the Church, we’ve ignored a pressing question: Why don’t men go to church anymore? Why are the most common traits of the modern Church doves and quilts and little old ladies? While the masculine exodus from churches is dangerous for the Church, when detached from Christianity, it may reappear as its own substitute religion; When divorced from masculinity, the Church emasculated fades into universalism and quietism. Dr. Leon Podles documents the current feminized state of the Western Church, the masculine traits that once characterized Christianity, and how they can be restored.
