The Way of a Man With a Maid is a Biblical evaluation of the courtship and betrothal movements currently gaining popularity within the evangelical Christian community. While sympathetic with many of the concerns of the courtship movement, Phillips raises questions about certain ideas with which it is often associated. Phillips devotes considerable attention to refuting Jonathan Lindvall’s teaching on ‘betrothal’ - a teaching which asserts that young people must allow their parents full control in the decision whom to marry. Phillips argues that this leads to an approach to relationships that centers around man-made techniques rather than scriptural principles. While avoiding the pitfalls of both modern recreational dating and legalistic formulas, Phillips' work offers an approach to pre-marital relationships that is both scripturally robust and practically workable.

Designed to be used in Christian classrooms and small groups, this philosophical overview traces the development since the Enlightenment of the shift in attitudes toward gender roles and the outlook on sexual identification in western culture in general. The author defends biblical morality, demonstrating the consequences of the alternative as they have played out in modern society. In so doing, he has attempted to show that the results of the sexual revolution have actually been antithetic to its own goals. Beginning with the philosophers of the Enlightenment, the author observes that the consequences of rejecting a biblical worldview has been to rob men and women of the capacity to live and enjoy themselves as God intended. The result has been the neutralization of gender. At a time when chastity is “in,” coherent thinking about sex and gender from a broader-based historical perspective among Christian young people is at an all time low. This book attempts to address that need.
