Systematic Conformity, 1960s version

While cleaning our (small) church last night, my wife picked up a book from Zondervan from the early 1960s, supposedly about Biblical womanhood. She was surprised to find that a book from the 1960s about "Biblical" womanhood more or less parroted the cultural line of "get out of the house and get some good psychiatric counseling." Funny, that's not how I read Proverbs 31...

So no, the habit of rebadging secularism with a cross isn't anything new. Be careful what's on your bookshelves, dear brothers and sisters.
