The Hidden Spirituality of Men

It is no secret that men are in trouble today.  From war to ecological collapse, most of the world's critical problems stem from a distorted masculinity out of control.  Yet our culture rewards the very dysfunctions responsible for those problems.

To Matthew Fox our crucial task is to open our minds to a deeper understanding of the healthy masculine than we receive from our media, culture and religions.  Populare religion forces the punitive imagery of fundamentalism on us, pushing most men away from their natural yearning for spirituality and toward intolerance and domination.  Meanwhile, many men, particularly young men, are looking for images of healthy masculinity to emulate and finding nothing. 


“Every man on this planet should read this book — not to mention every woman who wants to understand the struggles, often unconscious, that shape the men they know. If you want to understand what is out of whack in our culture — from politics to personal life — and how to heal and transform it, you’ll rejoice in this book that combines the wisdom of the ages with the most forward-looking combination of feminist spirituality and contemporary psychological and philosophical reflections!”
— Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun magazine, chair of the Network of Spiritual Progressives, and author of The Left Hand of God
