<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A journalist's investigation of a Christian Right movement in which women put their fertility in the service of a patriarchal culture war, "Quiverfull" is a fascinating examination of the 21st-century women and men who proclaim submission as model virtues--and as warfare on behalf of Christ.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Engrossing . . .
