Why Men Do Not Go To Church (1899)

By Cortland Myers

Book Overview

""Why Men Do Not Go To Church"" is a book written by Cortland Myers in 1899 that explores the reasons why men were not attending church services during that time period. The author argues that the decline in church attendance among men was due to various factors such as the lack of relevance of church teachings to men's daily lives, the perception of church as a feminine space, and the rise of secularism and materialism. Myers also suggests possible solutions for churches to attract more male congregants, including introducing more practical and engaging sermons, creating a more welcoming and masculine environment, and emphasizing the social and community aspects of church. Overall, the book provides insight into the historical context and challenges of male church attendance in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
