1:04Now PlayingHow did aggression become associated with faithful Christian manhood?
Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez explains that many popular Christian men’s books relied less on biblical interpretation than on cultural models of masculinity. Those models were then presented as distinctly Christian and reinforced through a common warrior motif: God is a warrior, men are made in God’s image, and every man must have a battle to fight.
That framework allowed aggression to be treated as a Christian virtue when it was directed toward protecting families, churches, or the nation.
This clip comes from our Church & State 250+ conversation with Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne.
