Pyle readily admits that the notion of manhood is changing and this has led to some serious consequences. He points to the efforts of men trying to "remasculinize" Jesus through focusing on his "masculine" aspects and promoting the idea of being a protector, warrior, and leader. While he doesn't necessarily say this is wrong, Pyle says that it is out of balance. First of all, it limits women, which Pyle points out, received the same blessings and commandments as Adam.
Pyle argues for a truly "whole" being, regardless of gender. That is the message that Jesus came to teach, Pyle says. Jesus came to make us "whole" (or right with God and creation) not to make us fit some stereotype.
This message was something that I have never read before at a practical level. What he is encouraging is something more radical than I ever anticipated and I am extremely glad to read it. I only read the eBook version, but I will definitely, definitely buy the print version because I have more to practice and learn from this book!!
