Listen "DR. DAVID EDGINGTON | The Abusive Wife"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. David Edgington is the author of the outstanding book "The Abusive Wife."
But he proposes that the term "abusive" isn't accurate. A biblical term is "reviling", which he says, “Entails using speech as a non-contact weapon against another person.”
Within the Christian church, pastors have overlooked this form of abuse of men in their rush to apologize for the past, continuing a trend that began long ago, succumbing to the idea that women are eternal victims and that every knee must bow to their feelings.
But David wrote his book 8 years ago. So today it's hard not to call Dr. Edgington just a little bit prophetic, and quite a bit more than heroic.
In our conversation David and I discussed:
His excellent book "The Abusive Wife"
How to Recognize a Reviled Husband
Wokeness and Christianity
Women and Their Anger
The Danger of the Secular Courts
How Abuse Can Sanctify Us
Why Women's Feelings Are NOT Sovereign.
