Description: This book interprets fourth-century theological discourse as an incident in the history of masculine gender, arguing that Nicene trinitarian doctrine is a crucial site not only for theological innovation but also for reimagining and reproducing manhood in the late Roman empire.

Review Quotes: "The book is an inspiring and unique work, a 'must read' for people with scholarly interest in patrisics and doctrinal theology as well as men's studies and queer studies."--Journal of the American Academy of Religion
