"Remaking the Godly Marriage provides a careful and insightful
portrait of gender in contemporary conservative evangelicalism that
would serve as an accessible text for seminars on gender and
religion or contemporary evangelicalism. Most significantly,
Bartkowski's focus on how identity and responsibilities are
carefully negotiated between men and women takes seriously the
sociological claim that gender is relational and thereby fills a
gap in the literature on gender in conservative evangelical
families."-Journal of Religion "This book is beautifully written
and highly engaging. Bartkowski uses finely chosen family- and
organizational-level examples to illustrate theoretical
points."-Gender & Society "Bartkowski draws from a treasure
trove of stories to make evangelicals understandable and alive.
Like everyone else, they struggle to create workable ways of being
men, women, and families in a changing world."-Nancy Tatom
Ammerman, author of Bible Believers: Fundamentalists in the Modern
World "Bartkowski very nicely mixes methods--combining an analysis
of evangelical advice manuals, an ethnography of an evangelical
congregation, and in-depth interviews with married evangelical
couples--to produce an important contribution to our growing
understanding of the complexity, ambivalence, and diversity within
American evangelicalism."-Christian Smith, University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill "Using a deft combination of historical
material, textual analysis, interviews and ethnographic
observation, Bartkowski unpacks the multiple discourses about, and
practices within, marriage and families among evangelical
Protestants."-Rhys H. Williams, editor of Promise Keepers and the
New Masculinity: Private Lives and Public Morality John P.
Bartkowski investigates the debates over gender and the family as
they are manifested within contemporary evangelicalism. The author
asks: Have debates over relations between husband and wife been
altered by the emergence of new evangelical movements such as the
Promise Keepers? And given the fact that leading evangelicals
advance competing visions of godly family life, how do conservative
religious spouses make sense of their own family relationships and
gender identities? Through in-depth interviews with evangelical
married couples, Bartkowski reveals how these men and women jointly
negotiate gender roles within their families and selectively
appropriate values of the larger culture even as they attempt to
cope with the conflicting messages of their own faith. John P.
Bartkowski is an assistant professor in the department of
sociology, anthropology, and social work at Mississippi State
University.
