Butching Up Jesus
When you're selling culture war and global conflict, the actual Jesus can be a little unsettling:
Driscoll put this bluntly in his sermon "Death by Love" at the 2006
Resurgence theology conference (available at TheResurgence.com).
According to Driscoll, "real men" avoid the church because it projects
a "Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ" that "is no one to live for
[and] is no one to die for." Driscoll explains, "Jesus was not a
long-haired … effeminate-looking dude"; rather, he had "callused hands
and big biceps." This is the sort of Christ men are drawn to—what
Driscoll calls "Ultimate Fighting Jesus."
