摘要

Taking the biblical story of the man born blind in chapter nine of John’s Gospel as its point of departure, this essay argues that Black men experience a sort of emotional and psychological death in Christianity. Their death results from the imposition of utopian standards of masculinity foisted upon them through Black church culture. I argue that since intersectional feminism relies on anti-Black, misandrist sociological theories of Black men, its uncritical adoption through the concept of kyriarchy in feminist theology will likely result--and likely have already resulted--in homiletic and exegetical practices in Christianity that are harmful to Black men.
