James Lyman's Outraged claims to expose abuse within churches, but what it truly exposes is the author's own arrogance, misogyny, and weaponization of faith. Far from being a voice for victims, Lyman uses their suffering as a platform for his self-righteous preaching and self-promotion.
The book reeks of condescension, shaming readers who dare to question his authority. Worse, Lyman’s interactions beyond the pages, as evidenced by his dismissive and sexist responses to critics, show his true colors. Instead of addressing legitimate concerns, he defaults to attacks on character, faith, and even marriage roles—dragging outdated dogma into discussions that demand empathy and accountability.
Lyman claims moral superiority, but his behavior suggests otherwise. He deflects, belittles, and bullies—hardly the conduct of a man advocating for justice. The irony is staggering: a man who supposedly confronts church abuses perpetuates the same spiritual manipulation and judgment he pretends to condemn.
I graduated in 1997 with a BA. Kurt Gray woud have started one or two years later. It's just unusual to see my Alma mater pop up. Waterloo is to Canada what MIT is to the States, but not quite as significant on a more international scale.
