Men and Mercy: An evangelical Christian root of modern masculinities (Dr Philip Sampson, fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics)

The return to the biblical text in England from the late sixteenth century challenged the then current expectations of masculine behaviour. The lecture discusses this, and argues that it continues to be an important (and neglected) source for a more rounded masculinity in contemporary culture.
