Editorial Reviews
· “…Fox deserves to find his true audience—thinking men (and women as well) who desire a rich exploration of “male spirituality” by a thinker who can draw as easily on Thomas Aquinas as he does on Greek mythology and the work of the Indian saint Swami Muktananda.” —Publishers Weekly
· “Matthew Fox might well be the most creative, the most comprehensive, surely the most challenging religious-spiritual teacher in America.” —Thomas Berry, author of The Great Work
· “…It is a gutsy, courageous book, one that confronts the terrible isolation in which men live with archetypal images that once nurtured, guided, and connected our ancestors and that still course within the depths of each of us. If we are to redeem our souls from the numbing banalities of our culture, we have to access the spiritual values that enable us to give our lives to something worthy once more.” —Dr. James Hollis, author of What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life
About the Book
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. To awaken what Fox calls ''the sacred masculine,'' he unearths ten metaphors, or archetypes, to inspire men to pursue their higher calling to reinvent the world.
