Internationally, The Gospel Coalition is posting as much cringe as ever. Earlier this month, it published an ode to Taylor Swift in Australia, getting the gospel wrong. That was likely the gayest article they will publish this year. The Gospel Coalition Canada published their grossest article: A Biblical Theology of Periods.
Discussing periods in public seems like a risky endeavour. Yet our periods so greatly impact our lives that we would benefit from having frank conversations on the subject. Plus, our brothers will benefit from understanding their mothers, their sisters, their daughters, their wives, and their female friends better.
The article proceeds to establish its need.
The first person to suggest a discussion on such a topic was a listener of the podcast I co-host, Chrétienne. In considering her request, I came across a book entitled, “A Brief Theology of Periods” published, and a favourable book review on TGC’s blog. So, I told myself that if The Good Book Company and TGC were bold enough to publish on this topic, it’s because a true need exists, and our readers might benefit from such a discussion.
This is not what a normal Christian would call proof of concept. Big Eva publishes numerous books that no one wants like any book on political theory that touts thrid waysim. And they review all sorts of books favorably. This article is apparently a part one.
