Matthew Fox was a member of the Dominican Order for 34 years. He holds a doctorate in the History and Theology of Spirituality from the Institut Catholique de Paris. He is the author of 28 books.
"Matthew Fox might well be the most creative, the most
comprehensive, surely the most challenging religious-spiritual
teacher in America."
-- Thomas Berry, author of The Great Work "In The Hidden
Spirituality of Men Matthew Fox has written a book designed to make
all of us, men and women, more mindful of the spirit-streams in
which we live our journeys, whether consciously or not. It is a
gutsy, courageous book, one that confronts the terrible isolation
in which men live with archetypal images that once nurtured,
guided, and connected our ancestors and that still course within
the depths of each of us. If we are to redeem our souls from the
numbing banalities of our culture, we have to access spiritual
values that enable us to give our lives to something worthy once
more."
-- Dr. James Hollis, Jungian analyst and author of What Matters
Most: Living a More Considered Life "Every man on this planet
should read this book -- not to mention every woman who wants to
understand the struggles, often unconscious, that shape the men
they know. If you want to understand what is out of whack in our
culture -- from politics to personal life -- and how to heal and
transform it, you'll rejoice in this book that combines the wisdom
of the ages with the most forward-looking combination of feminist
spirituality and contemporary psychological and philosophical
reflections!"
-- Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun magazine, chair of the
Network of Spiritual Progressives, and author of The Left Hand of
God "A wake-up call to shake us free from old stereotypes of
masculinity, this book is good news -- and essential reading for
men and those living in a world with men. Matthew Fox, at his most
enlivening and insightful, describes, arouses, and liberates
archetypal forms of male spirituality so desperately needed in
these leaden times. These forms for embodying the sacred strengthen
the warrior and the guardian within me as well. I know no better
medicine for the mounting violence in our streets and in our
hearts."
-- Joanna Macy, author of World as Lover, World as Self "Matthew
Fox, a one-of-a-kind voice, a wild man of religiosity, turns his
loving heart toward emancipating modern men from an overculture
that if left to itself would only use up men's blood and bones. Fox
holds a different vision of the masculine as creative, voluptuous,
and filled with spirit."
-- Clarissa Pinkola Est�s, PhD, author of Women Who Run With the
Wolves and weekly columnist for the National Catholic Reporter
Online (ncrcafe.org) "Once again, Matthew Fox brings his spiritual
and earthly wisdom to the critical issues of our age. Fox shows how
the challenges of humanity -- environment, conflict, and social
justice -- are linked to the spiritual crisis faced by Western men.
He demonstrates that we can start repairing our relationship with
the earth and its citizens by repairing our own relationship with
the sacred. The Hidden Spirituality of Men is essential reading for
men who dream of becoming more effective agents of change,
contributors to family and community, and warriors in the struggle
to make the world a better place. Fox shows that if we wish to
repair a world that faces crises of militarism, injustice, and
ecological collapse, we must start with the conflicts and potential
within ourselves and work outward from spiritual strength."
-- Rex Weyler, cofounder of Greenpeace International, author of The
Jesus Sayings, and coauthor of Chop Wood, Carry Water "Matthew Fox
is a beacon of creative wisdom for our time! In this historic and
revolutionary book, he inspires us to divinize male sexuality and
exorcise the self-imposed and culturally held demons that bring
violence and environmental desecration to our world."
-- Alex Grey, artist and author of Sacred Mirrors,
Transfigurations, and The Mission of Art "Matthew Fox's book is a
magnificent masterpiece."
-- Andrew Harvey, author of Son of Man and The Hope
