Recent sociological analyses, such as Richard Reeves' Of Boys and Men, have identified a growing "crisis of masculinity" marked by four interrelated dynamics: (1) economic displacement through deindustrialization and the erosion of traditionally male-dominated labor sectors; (2) heightened social isolation exacerbated by pornography, digital media, and political polarization; (3) confusion regarding masculine identity amid the loss or denigration of positive male role models; and (4) relational instability shaped by online dating cultures and shifting sexual norms. While these diagnoses are sociological, they raise deeply theological and anthropological questions concerning vocation, embodiment, desire, and moral formation.       Scripture, read theologically and affectively, offers indispensable resources for addressing these questions. Focusing on Judges 13-16, I undertake a narrative-ethical reading of the Samson cycle by employing Karl Kuhn's "affective exegesis", attending to how the text forms readers' emotions, desires, and moral imaginations. Samson emerges as a paradigmatic figure of strength without purpose, charisma without discipline, and sexuality detached from covenantal fidelity—features that resonate strikingly with contemporary masculine disorientation. More than a mere moral warning, the narrative functions as a theologically charged pedagogy of the passions.       In constructive dialogue with systematic theology, I then draw on Thomas Aquinas's account of the passions, alongside John Paul II's Theology of the Body, to articulate a theological anthropology capable of integrating strength, desire, and self-gift. By bringing affective exegesis into conversation with Catholic moral theology, this study demonstrates how scriptural narrative can shape a constructive theological response to contemporary cultural crises. In so doing, it advances the broader task of reintegrating Scripture and theology for the sake of ecclesial and pastoral renewal.
