The Shape of Masculinity

Douglas Jones says that masculinity can be thought of as:
' the collection of all those characteristics which flow from delighting in and sacrificing bodily strength for goodness'.
In ch 1 Wilson outlines five clear aspects of this kind of masculinity throughout the Bible:

1. Lords having dominion
2. Husbandman tending the earth
3. Saviours delivering from evil & sin
4. Sages applying knowledge wisely
5. Glory-bearers as responsible representatives
