商品簡介
Kathryn Joyce's fascinating introduction to the world of the patriarchy movement and Quiverfull families examines the twenty-first-century women and men who proclaim self-sacrifice and submission as model virtues of womanhood---and as modes of warfare on behalf of Christ. Here, women live within stringently enforced doctrines of wifely submission and male headship, and live by the Quiverfull philosophy of letting God give them as many children as possible so as to win the religion and culture wars through demographic means.
"Riveting and deeply disturbing. This important book shines a light on a corner of the Christian right that has taken misogyny to sadomasochistic extremes, and reveals the sexual anxieties so often underlying modern fundamentalism."---Michelle Goldberg, author of Kingdom Coming
"An invaluable contribution to understanding how religious fundamentalism still stands in the way of sexual justice ... An urgent call to dismantle fundamentalism's hold on our politics, and our policy-making."---Sarah Posner, American Prospect online
"[An] excellent, frightening new book ... Quiverfull merits wide readership."---Edd Doerr, The Voice of Reason: The Journal of Americans for Religious Liberty
"A groundbreaking investigation ... Future historians and journalists will owe Joyce a debt of gratitude for her foray into this still nascent religious group."---Publishers Weekly
