Behold the Men
SCM Press (Verlag)
978-0-334-06123-6 (ISBN)
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.
Dr Robert Beckford is a scholar-activist whose work has significantly influenced the intersection of theology, 'race' and culture in Black religions of the Black Atlantic. Outside of academia, he has produced over thirty television and radio documentaries, being awarded a BAFTA for one, and has also worked as a music producer, including the socio-political, contemporary gospel album, 'The Jamaican Bible Remix'. Robert holds professorial roles in the UK and the Netherlands and is the director-elect for a new urban public theology project in South London, where he will co-produce theology with diverse communities. Rachel Starr is Director of Studies at the Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education in Birmingham, where she teaches biblical studies and feminist contextual theologies.
