| Zusammenfassung: | The new era of more fluid, expansive, non-binary understandings of being human presents a challenge to Christian theology's reluctance to address the enduring primacy of masculine images of God to maintain gender hierarchies subordinating women. The present global crisis, evidenced by 'strongman' politics, sex trafficking, and sexual harassment of women by high-profile men, is the consequence of toxic masculinity that persists in patriarchal systems. This essay proposes a theological framework for reimagining masculinity that challenges patriarchy, encourages humility in language about God, invites men to grieve their losses and embraces human and divine vulnerability as a necessary corrective to hegemonic masculinity. |
