A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy

I really sympathize with the author. I sympathize with all women subjected to abusive relationships. I’ve been there and I won’t even discuss it so writing a book is a bravery I can’t even imagine.
My rating is based on the title and the generalization of this behavior being the fault of her husband Christianity. Her husband was no Christian. He was an abuser who used religion to justify his behavior.

Do you really have zero understanding of Christian nationalism?
She did not generalize. She named the people, the churches, and the institutions that did harm (and are still doing harm.) She was not subtle about who and what she was escaping from. Again, there was no generalization.
I’ve spent tens of thousands of hours in churches, being raised by parents who were into evangelical, reformed theology. What she describes is absolutely “Christian”, as far as the subjugation and domination that so many denominations preach (and worse, build a culture and social structure around). I know you don’t want this to be “true Christianity”, but in the United States at least, it is what Christianity is becoming.
