For Christian men searching for purpose, the crisis of masculinity is real. But the solution isn't toxic bravado, gender erasure, or culture-war confusion. It's
virtue.
The fruit of the Spirit can shape our vision for biblical manhood in today's complex world. In
Men of Virtue, Zachary Wagner offers a distinctly Christian vision of masculinity inspired by the virtues Paul commends to all believers. Moving through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, Wagner shows how these virtues uniquely shape men's strength, relationships, sexuality, ambition, and emotions. This fresh biblical vision calls men to a new kind of character and purpose--one grounded in Christlike discipleship rather than false cultural binaries.
Perfect for men's discipleship groups and campus ministry contexts, this resource shows readers
- how the fruit of the Spirit guides character development;
- a nonpartisan, biblically grounded vision of masculinity; and
- what it looks like for men to live out scriptural virtues in distinct, embodied ways.
Written for Christian men (and the women who love them), this book offers a fresh biblical vision of masculinity that calls men into a new kind of strength, character, and purpose.
