sure… by Malborough Man I mean the “dudely dude”, you know, the super charged testosterone guy who plays football and drives a truck that sucks 20 litres per 100km. Anyhow, I think that guy turned out gay in Brokeback Mountain.
it may be that white middle american values are very biblical!

Hi Shane,

I agree this is important to work through.

I’m sure though that it is fair to have Driscoll baptizing the Marlboro Man AND ‘white middle American values’. Driscoll’s vision of manhood would be for us to marry, have lots of kids, commit to one city. work a job, build wealth, raise those kids to follow Jesus and do the same, so that in 150 years the city we live in is different.

The Marlboro Man seems to be pretty much the opposite to that?

look fwd to the read Tim.
my guess is you begin with Adam in Gen 1 & 2 and the move to Jesus in his humanity and the new creation.

would be interested to explore our own cultural expressions of manhood. Are you more manlyif you have 8 kids and a mortgage and less manly if you’re childless, renting and wife works?
Driscoll raised some wonderful aspects of biblical manhood but left me feeling that he has baptised the Malborough man at times and championed white middle american values more than the scriptures.

ps your anti psam captcha stuff is frustrating
