What does it mean to be a man? By interweaving redaction criticism, reception history, and masculinity studies, Rewriting Masculinity explores how the biblical character of Gideon went from being understood as a mighty warrior to a weakling, from a successful leader to a man who led Israel astray. Ultimately, Kelly J. Murphy shows that the story of Gideon the mighty warrior is, in many ways, the story of masculinity in miniature: an ever-changing,always-in-crisis, and constantly-transforming ideal.
