Christian Families Should Gather in Separate Communities and Find “a Good Hill to Defend” in “the Next Round”
A man must protect his family, and in the coming years a thinking man will be looking for a good hill to defend.
In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 2015, from How to Exasperate Your Wife and Other Short Essays for Men, cited to the source.
This means that men should begin to think through their responsibilities regarding the next round. This statement is not made in a column on the civil magistrate, but rather as an exhortation to husbands. A man must protect his family, and in the coming years a thinking man will be looking for a good hill to defend. How might that be done? Families should begin congregating in communities where these duties are understood, and the men of those communities have every intention of fulfilling those duties.
