147. Forrest Dickison: When A Children's Book Gets Gender Right


Listen Later

Most children’s book and entertainment are woefully lame (and, of course, most adult books and entertainment are lame as well [(did you guys see that there is an Amazon show for clowns that has a black, gay, handicap King of England?]). In attempts to counteract that (often with good intentions) authors who seek to position the male lead in his rightful masculine place often, perhaps unknowing to them (perhaps in their knee-jerk reaction resulting in overcorrection), will often relegate the female role to a truncated picture of optimal biblical femininity.

Sons of Adam and daughters of Eve are given a proper account that aligns aright with their respective roles as bearers of the image of God.
