Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review
"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
"This is writing with verve and humour. Burrus's claims will be argued for years to come . . . and will open new avenues of exploration for the next generation of scholars." -- Journal of Ecclesiastical History
"Burrus produces a scintillating study in patristic theology, combining a profound scholarly understanding of the patristic tradition with a daring appropriation of feminist psycholinguistic theory." -- Theology and Sexuality
"Provocative and intriguing." -- Journal of Early Christian Studies
