Nancy Pearcey on The Toxic War on Masculinity, Part 1

I’m thrilled to bring you the 100th episode of Filter. This podcast has been a blast to host and I hope that all of you in our audience have been helped by it. To celebrate our 100th episode, I am pleased to present this special two-part interview with Nancy Pearcey. Professor Pearcey and I discuss her latest book The Toxic War on Masculinity. In Part 1, she shares her story and tells us about her time at L’Abri. We also cover why she wrote this book and what she is addressing. At the end of part 1, she also gives her critique of the popular book Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez.

Nancy Pearcey is the author of the upcoming book The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. Her most recently published book is Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality. Her earlier books include The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into 19 languages. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth.
