Written by a former soldier turned pacifist, this is a penetrating analysis of the links between war, masculinity and misogyny and the Church's historical complicity in promoting them.
In his sharp, observant book, Stan Goff grapples with a problem crucial to modern Christian values. The sanctification of war and contempt for women are both grounded in a fear that breeds hostility, a hostility that valorises conquest and murder. In ''Borderline'', Goff dissects the driving force behind the darkest impulses of the human heart. The un-Christian history of loving war and hating women are not merely similar but two sides of the same coin, he argues, in an ''autobiography'' that spans two millennia of war and misogyny. ''Borderline'' is the personal and conceptual history of an American career army veteran transformed by Jesus into a passionate advocate for nonviolence, written by a man who narrates his conversion to Christianity through feminism.
