Abstract
SUMMARY In this article, the author explores the literature about male identity formation, especially in adolescence, and suggests religious and psychological resources for healing that can lead to nonviolence. He argues that male violence is motivated most deeply by fear of vulnerability and pain that is present for many men but not addressed by traditional stereotypes of masculinity. Finding safe places to explore this vulnerability can lead to healing and empowerment so that men can be mentors to other men in their own healing.
