{"product_id":"numen-old-men-1","title":"Numen, Old Men","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the early 1990s there have been various movements designed to encourage 'masculine spirituality'. All these movements share a concern that spirituality has become too feminine and that men's experiences of the spiritual are being marginalized. The task of masculine spirituality is to promote 'authentic' masculine characteristics within a spiritual context. \u003cem\u003eNumen, Old Men\u003c\/em\u003e examines these characteristics to argue that masculine spirituality is thinly veiled patriarchy. The mythopoetic, evangelical, and Catholic men's movements are shown to promote a hetero-patriarchal spirituality by appealing to either combative and oppressive neo-Jungian archetypes or biblical models of man as the leader of the family. \u003cem\u003eNumen, Old Men\u003c\/em\u003e examines spiritualities that aim to honour and transcend both the masculine and feminine, and offers gay spirituality as an example of masculine spirituality that resists patriarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243706765656,"sku":"9781845534196","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781845534196_3ba901ec-7815-4595-98dd-c3ff5bcb8dbe.jpg?v=1771575338","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/numen-old-men-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
