Download or read book Christian Masculinity written by Yvonne Maria Werner and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-nineteenth century, when the idea of religion as a private matter connected to the home and the female sphere won acceptance among the bourgeois elite, Christian religious practices began to be associated with femininity and soft values. Contemporary critics claimed that religion was incompatible with true manhood, and today's scholars talk about a feminization of religion. But was this really the case? What expression did male religious faith take at a time when Christianity was losing its status as the foundation of society? This is the starting point for the research presented in Christian Masculinity. Here we meet Catholic and Protestant men struggling with and for their Christian faith as priests, missionaries, and laymen, as well as ideas and reflections on Christian masculinity in media, fiction, and correspondence of various kinds. Some men engaged in social and missionary work, or strove to harness the masculine combative spirit to Christian ends, while others were eager to show the male character of Christian virtues. This book not only illustrates the importance of religion for the understanding of gender construction, but also the need to take into consideration confessional and institutional aspects of religious identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissatisfied with a Victorian culture focused on domesticity and threatened by physical decline in sedentary office jobs, American men in the late nineteenth century sought masculine company in fraternal lodges and engaged in exercise to invigorate their bodies. One form of this new manly culture, developed out of the Protestant churches, was known as muscular Christianity. In this fascinating study, Clifford Putney details how Protestant leaders promoted competitive sports and physical education to create an ideal of Christian manliness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Manhood: Or, the Age of Thought To avow one's sentiments, at proper times, and under certain circumstances, I believe is both manly and right. When our views flow onward with the popular current it requires no moral courage to express and defend them; but when we have arrived at conclusions entirely opposed to prevailing dogmas, not a little firmness and self-reliance is necessary to enable us to unfurl the independent flag, and drop into the ranks of the minority. It will be acknowledged, I presume, that every person must believe something. Each individual must have certain notions of a creative Deity, and some kind of a theory of divine government. In this country, it is generally conceded that every man has a perfect right to believe just what he can, rationally. If he is disposed to take the Alcoran of Mahomet for his moral guide, I suppose the government of this republic will not interfere in the premises, so long as he leads a sober and orderly life. Those who embrace the Jewish and Christian testaments, as authority in all matters pertaining to religion, have, also, the privilege of doing so. But one thing is obvious, and completely apparent to every candid mind, - any person who really believes a given proposition, must do so from evidence. Belief and unbelief are things of necessity, although one may profess to receive as true a proposition of which he knows literally nothing; yet the difference between profession and reality is just the difference between truth and falsehood. The flower grows because conditions favor its development; it has a fertile soil, gentle dews, genial rains, pure air, and bright sunshine. So a man believes, because conditions compel him to believe. This I conceive to be a sound and incontrovertible position, but one that is not understood by prevailing organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Manhood: Or, the Age of Thought It is my firm conviction that the God of Nature never intended, and does not require, that a single human existence should be gov erned by a blind, unenlightened faith. It does not appear, to my comprehension, that the sublime God expects us to accept. As true any proposition which we cannot, in some manner, comprehend. I believe in the immortality of the soul. But why.do I thus believe? Simply, because conditions have been favorable to such a belief. N ot because the doctrine of immortality is\ proved beyond cavil' in the Jewish or Christian Scriptures not because this or that reverend clergyman has asserted it to be so not because our worthy minister, a few sab baths since, gave an accurate description of heaven, not forgetting its pearly gates, costly pavement, golden harps, white thrones, four and twenty beasts, &c, &c.; but because reason and inspiration have brought it home to my own soul. A reverend doctor may assure me a thousand times that I have an immortal spirit but, providing I could see no reason for having an immortal spirit, it would, doubtless, be a long time before I became a full convert to his doctrine. I ask him, How do you know'that. I have an immortal spirit? Did you ever see or hear, or have any, tangible communication with a spin itual existence, after it had thrown off its mortal organism? The learned doctor answers me in the negative. I remark, in return, Perhaps you are acquainted with some fortunate individual, of high moral integrity, in whom you place implicit confidence, who has had tangible and indubitable evidence of the soul's immortality. Again I receive a cold negative, and am informed that In other ages of the world, God spake to humanity by holy prophets, inspired men, Who acted as they were acted upon by the Supreme Intelligence.

Download or read book The 5 Masculine Instincts written by Chase Replogle and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t trust your instincts—there is a better path to becoming a better man. It’s no secret: today’s men face a dilemma. Our culture tells them that their instincts are either toxic or salvific. Men are left with only two options: deconstruct and forfeit masculine identity or embrace it with wild abandon. They’re left to decide between ignoring their instincts or indulging them. Neither approach helps them actually understand their own masculine experiences nor how those experiences can lead them to become better men of God. The Bible doesn’t shy away from the reality of masculine instincts nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction. Examining the lives of five men of the Bible, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows that these men aren’t masculine role models or heroes but are men who wrestled with their own desires and, by faith, matured them into something better. Through this book you’ll discover your own instincts are neither curse nor virtue. They are the experiences by which you develop a new and better instinct—an instinct of faith. By exploring sarcasm, adventure, ambition, reputation, and apathy, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows you how to better understand yourself and how your own instincts can be matured into something better. This is the path by which we become better men.
