Published: July 5, 2023, 8:09 p.m.

Today we're joined by Nancy Pearcey, author of "Love Thy Body" and "The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes," for part two of our discussion on the biblical view of the body and the philosophy of \u201ctoxic masculinity.\u201d We start off with the reality that one's view of God determines one's view of masculinity. We look at ancient philosophers as well as Charles Darwin, who all believed in an innate inferiority of women. Meanwhile, it's Christians who have been trying to champion the dignity of women \u2013 it's Christianity that gives a rich, full understanding of masculinity that no other ideology does. We discuss the importance of the physical strength of men and how while feminism calls them to repress it, Christianity calls them to redirect it to something that fulfills its purpose.\n\nNancy\xa0Pearcey\xa0is the author of\xa0The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes,\xa0as well as\xa0Love Thy Body,\xa0The Soul of Science,\xa0Saving Leonardo,\xa0Finding Truth,\xa0and\xa0Total Truth.
