How two men with no qualifications convinced America’s Christian men they were all predators in waiting.
The American Church’s relationship with sex has always been a little complicated, but it got a lot more complicated with the explosive popularity of Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker’s Every Man’s Battle, which trained a generation of Christian men to see themselves as dormant predators — and women as their natural enemies. Now, Sheila Wray Gregoire joins Tyler to put Every Man’s Battle to the test, and weigh the book’s findings against what we actually know about women, sex and purity culture.
