Offensive Christianity

May 26, 2026

Here's another strong book from Founders Press. I was happy to pitch in a good word, and in good company, such as that of Mark DeVine, Jon Harris, Doug Wilson, William Wolfe, and David Schrock.


Offensive Christianity is a bracing book, deploying forceful language to call out a range of offenses and offenders. Reading it, I breathed many an “Amen!” or an “Oh, my!”, but there were “Say what?!” moments as well. No problem: Davis welcomes, even encourages, debate among us brothers, and there’s good grist for that mill. As the title suggests, the book is engagingly provocative and helpful in directing men away from the lame “Christlikeness” of the “longhouse” toward “muscular Christianity” in its spiritual and physical manifestations.
