Introduction
I have a deep and abiding interest in issues concerning men and Christianity. Over the coming months this part of Manhood online will tackle a range of issues that particularly affect men with regard to their Christian life.
Topics will include:
- Jesus – sensitive new age guy or hellfire preacher?
- Where are the men in churches today?
- Jesus and the men's movement
- Task-oriented men: is there more to life?
- Trends in Christian men's work
