There is a crying need in the church today for men to be men. But competing visions for what a man is to be -some growing out of popular culture and others arising from flawed teaching in the church-are exacerbating the problem. Rev. Richard D. Phillips believes it is possible to cut through all of this confusion by consulting the Bible. Only in the pages of Scripture, he asserts, can men find a clear explanation of their God-given roles as leaders, husbands, fathers, and churchmen.
Beginning in Genesis, Rev. Phillips shows that God commissioned Adam to "work" and "tend" the Garden of Eden. In these twin tasks, he perceives a template for manhood, one that, when carried out with diligence, provides dignity to men, service to mankind, and glory to God. He then goes on to show that men are called to lead, to love their wives, to discipline their children, and to serve the church of Jesus Christ. Here is biblical exposition of the most practical sort-teaching that reveals not only what men are to think but what they are to be.
