David Edgington
In "The Abusive Wife," David Edgington delves into the often-unaddressed issue of female abuse within marriage. He uses scripture to define and illustrate abusive behavior in wives, challenging the common tendency to solely focus on male culpability in marital conflict. Edgington provides a framework for understanding the dynamics of abusive relationships, offering practical guidance for both victims and those seeking to intervene. The book's significance lies in its willingness to confront a sensitive topic within the context of biblical principles, promoting healthy marital relationships. It serves as a valuable resource for pastors, counselors, and individuals seeking to address abuse in their lives.
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
Published in 1813, 'Pride and Prejudice' is a novel that revolves around the lives of the Bennet family, particularly the second eldest daughter, Elizabeth. The story is set in the early 19th century and explores themes of love, societal expectations, and personal growth. The novel centers on Elizabeth's tumultuous relationship with the wealthy and proud Mr. Darcy, whose initial arrogance and reserve gradually give way to a deeper understanding and mutual respect. Through their interactions, both characters learn to overcome their prejudices and flaws, leading to a transformative journey of self-discovery and redemption. The novel also delves into the societal pressures on women to secure marriages, the importance of family, and the nuances of social hierarchy during the British Regency period[3][4][5].
Feminism has ruined not only society, but the church. Instead of correcting haughty and controlling women, we now celebrate what Paul calls in Titus 2, women who revile the word of God by disrespecting their husbands. Sadly, many men are trapped in marriages to reviling women. In this episode, we sit down to talk with David Edgington, a biblical counselor and pastor whose forthcoming book, "White Knights and Reviling Wives: How Feminism Destroys Families" will be published through New Christendom Press.
What can be done to remedy this far-reaching modern error? In this episode of the King’s Hall Podcast, we’ll discuss how feminism has ruined marriages, society, and the church, and what we must do to fix the problem.
