If you have a sophisticated enough theology to recognize the author's tendency toward more leftist Jesuit theology, and can take the good while discarding the bad, this is actually an excellent, thought-provoking book. Given that it was written in the 1990's, this Jesuit looks rather orthodox compared to the leftist Jesuits of the 3rd Millenium.A good read on masculine spirituality. Was not quite what I was looking for but hands down better than much of what I have found in the genre.Psychobabble, categorizing like crazy. Excessive worry over control and logic (If you do a,b, and c then d happens but you need to do a,b, and j if you want k to happen). For the record, I believe women to be the logical ones not men. I consider men to be the dreamers, the intuitive ones. I couldn't finish it.I believe that males "are" therefore they are. They don't have to prove anything to exist anymore than women have to prove anything to exist.The author (with respect to the deceased) sounds like either a feminized man or a man pushing feminine memes. More "original sin" for being born a male.interesting readingA good book describing the different personality types of the old testament saints. the personality types are then shown in Jesus Christ. A good book for men looking into the mens liberation movement.Plain dumb.all went well; thank youFor a conservative Christian it is difficult to press through to the end of this book, but I am glad I did. I was able to gain insight into thinking that I had priviously either ignored or rejected. I thoroughly enjoyed the archetypes pictured by Arnold.
