From the mid-nineteenth century, when the idea of religion as a private matter connected to the home and the female sphere won acceptance in the bourgeois cultural elite, Christian religious practices began to be associated with feminity and soft values. Today's scholars talk about a feminisation of religion, and contemporary critics claimed that religion was incompatible with true manhood. But was this really the case ? What expression took male religiosity at a time when Christianity gradually lost its former status as the natural foundation of society ? This is the starting point for the research presented in this book. Here we meet Catholic and Protestant men struggling with and for their Christian faith as priests, missionaries and laymen, and ideas and reflections on Christian masculinity in media, fiction and correspondence of various kinds. Social and missionary engagement on confessional grounds and strivings to harness the masculine combative spirit to Christian ends was the case for some, while others were eager to show the genuine male character of Christian virtues or emphasised their transcendent, gender-crossing dimensions. The book illustrates the importance of religion for the understanding of gender constructions but also the need to take into consideration confessional and institutional aspects of religious identity.
