"Muscular Christianity" promotes physical manliness, virtue—a code of honor marked by loyalty, integrity, and bravery—and masculinity of character.
Followers embrace the principle that a man's physical capabilities should be developed and disciplined not solely for personal gain but to defend those in need, advance virtuous causes, and subdue the earth by the divine mandate given to men.
"Bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord."
— Attributed to Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556)
The tenets of Muscular Christianity are as follows:
A man's body is given to him by God;
It is to be trained;
It is to be brought into subjection;
It is then to be used for the protection of the weak;
For the advancement of all righteous causes;
And for the subduing of the earth, which God has given to the children of men.
"Take care of your body as if you were to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were to die tomorrow."
— Attributed to Saint Augustine (354–430)
Remember:
"God revealed Himself in the Bible pervasively as king not queen; father not mother. The second person of the Trinity is revealed as the eternal Son not daughter; the Father and the Son create man and woman in His image and give them the name man, the name of the male… God has given Christianity a masculine feel."
