Description
What if the sanctification of war and contempt for women are both grounded in a fear that breeds hostility, and a hostility that rationalizes conquest? The anti-Gospel Christian history of war-loving and women-hating are not merely similar but two aspects of the same dynamic, argues Stan Goff, in an "autobiography" that spans millennia. Borderline is the historical and conceptual autobiography of a former career army veteran transformed by Jesus into a passionate advocate for nonviolence, written by a man who narrates his conversion to Christianity through feminism.

This is not a quick read. However, Mr. Goff has much to say and the effort to read his message is well worth the time spent. This is not a war hating, man bashing, Jesus loves you type of book. It's more analytical than that. Any fool can rant. Mr. Goff backs up his views with solid support, intertwining his own first hand experiences with relevant research. This book is an informed statement about the inherent cruelty of war with regard to women and how the church has been co-opted into the mess. Anyone scratching their heads and wondering how we ended up where we are today might find some answers here.
