  • Can ancient philosophers really provide useful insights for the modern warfighter?• How might they reconcile cosmopolitan principles with patriotic duty?• Would a truly enlightened individual participate in the horrors of war?Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy grapples with these questions and more. Authored by a serving military professional, it breaks down the most advanced concepts of Stoicism into plain language without oversimplifying. Exhaustively researched, steeped in original sources, and informed by examples from the cutting edge of modern conflict, it builds upon ancient thinking to develop innovative theories of patriotic duty and ethical warfighting.While Stoicism has seen an explosion in popular interest, and is widely embraced in military culture, no serious philosophical work has yet explored its full implications within the military profession. This book answers that call. Endorsed by senior military officials and academic philosophers, Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy provides compelling and original contributions to both military ethics and the literature of modern Stoicism.

  Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
   
   
   
  In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
   
   
   
  Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.
