She studies the masculinity of Jesus vis-à-vis his opponents, disciples, and women. She also considers the impact of Jesus’ emotions and suffering on his masculinity. Arguing that there were several competing ideals of masculinity, she sets out to trace what strategies the early Christian masculinities used in relation to the hegemonic masculinities of the ancient Greco-Roman world. She shows that the Gospel of Luke is close to the ancient Greco-Roman ideal of self-controlled masculinity while the Gospels of Mark and Matthew portray Jesus and the disciples as examples of voluntarily marginalized masculinity.Biblical interpretation series ;Volume 159.MasculinityBiblical teachingMasculinity in the BibleMen (Christian theology)Biblical teachingMasculinityBiblical teaching.Masculinity in the Bible.Men (Christian theology)Biblical teaching.226.08155332Asikainen Susanna967877MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910404069603321Jesus and other men2198068UNINA
