“Strachan and Peacock don’t simply defend a view of men and women that is traditional but now counter-cultural. They show it is beautiful.”
— Andy Naselli, Assistant Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology, Bethlehem College and Seminary, Minneapolis, Minnesota

— Mez McConnell, Pastor, Niddrie Community Church and Ministry Director of 20Schemes

THE WORLD HAS GONE GREY— FUZZY, BLURRY, GENDER-NEUTRAL GREY.

In a secularist culture, many people today are confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. Even the church struggles to understand the meaning of manhood and womanhood.

In The Grand Design, Owen Strachan and Gavin Peacock clear away the confusion and open up the Scriptures. They show that the gospel frees us to behold the unity and distinctiveness of the sexes. In Christ, we have a script for our lives. Doxology, we discover, is in the details.

Be prepared: this short and readable book is dangerous. Jesus has something better for us than a minimalistic manhood and a woebegone womanhood. You could say it like this: he wants to put the grand design on display
