Sinossi

•The first serious attempt to offer a theological introduction to an important contemporary question – what is masculinity?•Draws together a wealth of prominent voices, including Jarel Robinson, Michael Leyden, Chris Greenough and Inderjit Bhogal, with Robert Beckford, one of the most important black theologians today, co-editor alongside Rachel Starr.•Engages with a subject of concern to the church both at institutional and local level. Contemporary dominant models of masculinity in Britain are often toxic, highly damaging to both men under pressure to embody them, and women who are subject to oppression, marginalization and abuse because of the gender hierarchies and assumptions such models encourage. Despite growing awareness of the negative impact of such models theologians and churches have so far failed to address critically how theological beliefs and faith practices contribute to toxic masculinity, and what they might need to do to enable the transformation of understandings and practices of masculinity.Behold the Men offers a vital introductory text for those looking to reflect on the ways in which masculinity has been imagined and informed by Christianity. Drawing together a diverse range of scholars, the chapters together ask how toxic models of masculinity might be challenged by Christian theological resources. As a whole the book seeks to offer a range of critical, transformative, healthy, faithful models of masculinity, which engage with Christian traditions.
