Elisabeth Elliot is a treasure from a bygone era, although she still lives and writes in ours. Her active, living faith shapes her life in a profound way, and her traditional, biblical view of manhood and womanhood hearken back to a time before modern feminism.

In a world where men and women are encouraged to reject traditional sex roles, Elisabeth Elliot candidly reminds men why the sexes are not equal and interchangeable. Written as personal advice to her nephew, The Mark of a Man reveals the glory and purpose of true masculinity. With Christ as the example of the ultimate man, this classic take on understanding a man's role in life and relationships, romantic or otherwise, helps men define their own masculinity in a positive way. This timely repackage encourages men to stand strong in their unique role established by God for all time. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

If you are expecting careful exegesis of the topic like your favorite theologian, you are missing the nature of the book. It's not a theological treatise, but rather a set of letters to a beloved nephew. It is a book with Elliot's trademark warmth and pointedness - simultaneously warming your heart while punching you in the gut. It is almost pastoral in nature, as if an older woman from my church, whom Biblically is akin to my mother, was writing to me. In all of the topics, Elliot doesn't simply give her opinion, but rather points the reader back to the Scriptures and God's design for men and women. Anyone familiar with Elliot's life knows that these are not simply theories or manifestos, but tried and true things of old. Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's wrong.
For all intents and purposes, this book is counter-cultural to today's vision of manhood, and even what is considered to be "Biblical manhood". Read it for yourself, be convicted to pray that God makes you, or the one you love, into the man that God designed him to be. ( )
