In his landmark book Reforming Marriage, author Doug Wilson, began the discussion of covenant headship. The collection of essays in Federal Husband continues that discussion in greater depth, dealing with more specifics of this category of thinking, which is so foreign to the modern, Western mind.
None of us are as independent as we imagine ourselves to be. People in relationships are truly tied to one another, and their destinies affect one another. Doug Wilson forces the Christian husband to face the reality that your wife and children are either blessed or cursed in relation to your behavior and decisions.
Douglas Wilson is pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho and editor of Credenda/Agenda magazine. He is the author of Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Reforming Marriage and Her Hand in Marriage.
Federal thinking is foreign to the modern mind. "Federal", to most readers, has come to mean nothing more than centralized or huge. Because our federal government has become so un-covenantal, it is not surprising that the original meaning of the word is lost. But federal thinking is the backbone of historic Protestant theology, and the Church needs to recover the covenantal understanding of federal headship. Husbands are to lead their families, taking responsibility for them as their covenant Heads - as federal husbands.
