【 摘 要 】

This article examines the way pastors view masculinity through three main themes: the ideal of the Christian man, the necessary domination over women, and the role of men in the Church. One can conclude that a masculine model is manifested in practices of domination in the family, of active behavior in the exercise of sexuality, of power in ecclesial society. All this allows the man to be defined as superior to the woman and to dominate her. But men were also asked to obey the authorities, to be gentle and peaceful, which allowed the idea of opposition between a model advocated by the pastors and a more traditional model more associated with virility to be put forward. The Reformation could thus have contributed to a redefinition of gender and the promotion of a 'moderate masculinity' that was very much influenced by religious discourse.
