Boys will be Boys and Other Myths

<p>Throughout history we have exalted and theologised about men like Adam or David to the point where we have become oblivious to the fact that they are far from perfect role models for Christian manhood. Failing to read scripture properly we have used it to shape a distorted understanding of masculinity.</p><p> </p><p>Stretching from issues of violence emotional and sexual abuse the desire for power homophobia and the suppression of emotions Will Moore draws from scholarship personal stories and popular culture to offer an honest and accessible insight into the toxic myths which frame how we read scripture. Only when we expose these myths he argues can we start to see the authentic men staring straight back at us from the pages of our bibles and be able to reshape the way in which we produce Christian men today tackling the violence that is being done by men to themselves and others. </p>
