The church has a PR problem: instead of being a picture of the beauty of Christ's love, we've manifested disillusionment, despair--even abuse. Having experienced disillusionment herself, Aimee Byrd blends memoir, contemplative reading of Scripture, and biblical theology to show us Christ amidst the chaos as we find freedom that rises out of pain.
Aimee Byrd explores the theological meaning behind our sexes, helping Christians to understand our sexuality as gift and to grasp the story our bodies tell of Christ's love for his church. She calls the church to the recovery of God's true design of man and woman that unfolds through Scripture --indeed to a sexual reformation.
Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood presents a critique and an alternative to the push for biblical womanhood and biblical manhood today, focusing on the reciprocity of the male and female voices in Scripture, the covenantal aspect to Bible reading and interpretation, and bearing the fruit of that in our church life.
The church stands firm against culture on many issues of sexuality . . . but misses this one! Society says we are merely sexual beings and should embrace this, and in the church we use this same view as an excuse to distrust and avoid each other! We shy away from healthy friendship, and even our siblingship in Christ, in the name of purity and reputation . . . but is this what we are called to do? Aimee Byrd reminds us that the way to stand against culture is not by allowing it to drive us apartƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"ƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚€ƒƒ‚ƒƒ‚‚‚ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"it is by seeking the brother-and-sister closeness we are privileged to have as Christians. Here is a plan for true, godly friendship between the sexes that embraces the family we truly are in Christ and serves as the exact witness the watching world needs.
