Biblical Masculinities Foregrounded brings together ten innovative
studies on varieties of masculinity evidenced in the Hebrew Bible,
the New Testament and other early Christian writings. A sequel to
the 2010 collection, Men and Masculinity in the Hebrew Bible and
Beyond, this new volume raises important questions about why the
study of biblical masculinities matters, what it contributes to our
knowledge of the ancient writers' world as well as to our
contemporary world, and which methods adequately attend to that
study. The volume is designed as a resource for scholars of both
Testaments working from a variety of biblical traditions and
ideological perspectives on masculinity. The following studies are
offered as companions in the conversation: Yahweh's masculinity in
appearances in glory in Exodus and Ezekiel (Alan Hooker); Proverbs'
(de)construction of masculinity (Hilary Lipka); Saul's troubled
masculinity in 1-2 Samuel (Marcel Macelaru); weeping men in the
Torah and the Deuteronomistic history (Milena Kirova); Athaliah's
manly rule (Stuart Macwilliam); Joseph of Nazareth as an everyday
man (Justin Glessner); being a male disciple in Matthew's
'antitheses' (Hans- Ulrich Weidemann); eunuch masculinity in
Matthew's Gospel (Susanna Asikainen); masculinity and circumcision
in the first century (Karin Neutel and Matthew Anderson); and
Thecla's masculinity in the Acts of Thecla (Peter-Ben Smit). Ovidiu
Creanga opens the volume with a critical appraisal of the current
state of play in the field, while Martti Nissinen and Bjorn
Krondorfer offer closing critical reflections that situate the
book's topics within broader debates regarding masculinities in
religious studies.
