Servanthood or Soft Patriarchy? A Christian Feminist Looks at the Promise Keepers Movement
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | April 30, 1997
Promise Keepers has so far embraced a rhetoric of both servanthood and soft patriarchy, a position ambiguous enough to make Christian feminists of both sexes push them for greater clarity. “Promise Keepers will have to walk a narrow line,” writes seminary professor Howard Snyder, “calling for male leadership without putting down the leadership of women.”
Masculinity in Crisis: Remaining Biblical in a Changing World
By: Kaye V. Cook, Howard E. Frost | April 30, 1997
For men to move from an identity-fixed to an identity-flexible gender-role model, from macho to mature, from a career-centered to holistic self-definition, from “safe” to sharing friendships, from “give 'em hell” to nurturance and caring, is not easy. The realization that God calls us into relationship with one another, however, should challenge Christian men to [...]
Book Review: What Does She Want From Me Anyway? Honest Answers to the Questions Men Ask About Women
By: James R. Beck | March 5, 1997
Holly Phillips has written her book from the heart of the Promise Keepers movement (literally and figuratively).

What usually follows in the conversation (lecture) is armchair [...]
Men: It's Time to Change

Change begins with our language, because what we say and what we write reveals our unchallenged assumptions about women. Beyond that, however, we must change our missions commitment to include evangelizing and training the world’s women.
Good News For Women Is Good News For Men
By: Frances Hiebert | July 31, 1993
Feminism is supposed to be good news for women; but does that mean it is automatically bad news for men? Many people assume that it is. What is given to women must necessarily be taken away from men. This is the old “slice of the pie” or “limited good” theory.
Mystical Masculinity: The New Question Facing Women
By: Faith Martin | October 31, 1992
Popular references to God most often imply a certain masculinity, but I had always interpreted them as playful anthropomorphisms, endearments meant to humanize God just enough so people can speak comfortably yet respectfully about him in secular circles.
More Than “Vacuum Cleaner Commandos”: Affirming Egalitarian Males
By: William David Spencer | January 30, 1991
Recently my neighbor told me about a widower living in double jeopardy. With no homemaking training in his past and no wife to clean up after him, his house was piled high with junk, dirty dishes, and soiled clothes. In addition, he had to share that house with a virtual stranger: his child.
