Studies of gender in African Christianity have usually focused on
women. This book draws attention to men and constructions of
masculinity, particularly important in light of the HIV epidemic
which has given rise to a critical investigation of dominant forms
of masculinity. These are often associated with the spread of HIV,
gender-based violence and oppression of women. Against this
background Christian theologians and local churches in Africa seek
to change men and transform masculinities. Exploring the complexity
and ambiguity of religious gender discourses in contemporary
African contexts, this book critically examines the ways in which
some progressive African theologians, and a Catholic parish and a
Pentecostal church in Zambia, work on a 'transformation of
masculinities'.
