It is no secret that there is a crisis of masculinity in the modern world, and this topic is talked about repeatedly by many specialists and commentators. But in today’s episode, Joseph Pearce takes a different tact because he argues that part of the crisis of masculinity can be resolved by reading good books.
Andrew Peteprin joins Joseph as they characterize the crisis of masculinity, discuss why most poets are men, and reflect on the works of two greatest male Catholic authors—J.R.R. Tolkien and G.K. Chesterton.
