Douglas (Doug) Wilson
is sadly, a controversial figure in modern Evangelical circles. I say "sadly" because his heart beats Bible and his zeal is for the Lord to be honored. Any differences of interpretation or opinion should be graciously viewed in that light by all Christ-followers. Again, sadly, this isn't the case.

Quotes from Doug:
REGARDING A MAN'S LEADERSHIP IN THE HOME: "A man should be tough on the wolves, but he should be tender toward the sheep."
DEFINITION OF MASCULINITY: "The glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility"
"How do you get in shape for a time of persecution. It's by having people into your homes."

The Controversy Library
As mentioned in the conversation, Doug is a magnet for controversy. In my opinion this is because he's willing to say what the Bible says even when it's not culturally "correct" or socially palatable.
My STRONG exhortation, if you come across ANY hit-pieces aimed at Doug or his ministry at Christ Church or New St. Andrews College, check out this page to hear HIS side of the story. You'll see that he's seldom represented fairly when you do.
