Calvin. Luther. Knox. Vermigli.

In recent years, the Reformed world has seen a resurgence of interest in recovering the doctrinal work of these men and others from the shadows of centuries gone by.

This work of retrieval often requires courage, as we modern heirs of the Reformers inevitably discover that some of what we thought to be “Reformed” proved to be theological novelty in the face of the primary sources. We often discover that 19th- and 20th-century social movements and cultural pressures have successfully smuggled their ideas into the bedrock of our thinking.

Is there a clearer example of this phenomenon than the effect of the feminist movement on the doctrine and practice of the Protestant church?

The goal of this book is to introduce the reader to the Reformed theology of the family and to contrast this theology with deviations among modern Protestant churches, particularly those who claim ties to the Reformed tradition. After studying our Reformed forefathers on the family and male rule in the home, the church, and the commonwealth, Christians must consider whether the modern church’s departure from the teaching of these men has been more faithful to the Bible and has produced a more orderly society. Our spiritual forefathers would certainly say no.

Amazing read!

Wonderful book. Thanks for publishing things like this!

Great Read! You will not be disappointed as the author is not in any way sloppy with his facts. ACCRUATE STUFF!

I really like this book, both for the ideas/content, respecting the Reformed fathers thoughts and I like the quality of the book.

Let’s return to a world ordered by God’s truth and not feminism!

Excellent

Well packaged and delivered. Looks great!

As usual NCP is awesome. I absolutely love these guys

Top-tier, historical anti-feminist content. Feels great in the hand too.

It is a particularly needed and excellent book! It's perfect if you want a good set of texts that prove that your instincts about biblical sex-roles aren't insane and novel. We need this basic understanding of Scripture now more than ever (even and especially in conservative churches). May God bless this author and all New Christendom's projects and families!

Have not started the book yet, but I have to say the shipping time was extremely on point. My package arrived within 4 or five days of me purchasing it which, for a small company (and even a big one) is impressive. Great stuff and good quality packaging and design on the book, as well.

Helping others deepen theology

This book is very much needed in today's day and age

This is, one of the best books you'll ever read in your life. Everyone is saying it. Frankly, a lotta people thought you couldn't have a book this good - they didn't think it was possible. But NCP got it done, and they got it done very quickly. Incredible job. Wow.

Ordered a month ago and still haven’t received the books I purchased.

Book arrived promptly and in good condition. I am grateful to have some more perspective from a more conservative time. I have also purchased “Masculine Christianity” by the same author.

Shipment arrived promptly and in good shape.

Nice cover sleeve. Started reading. Happy with the purchase.

Great book!

Easy-to-navigate website. Speedy shipping. Who could ask for more? Maybe your mom.

Me and about nine other men bought a copy of this book to read and study together. It arrived quickly and is outstanding. The quality of the cover is awesome. The footnotes at the bottom of the pages are super useful. Garris did a lot of solid research that we look forward to benefitting from. Only downside is that we wish it were longer!
