Abstract
This article is concerned with three American theologies which deal with va rious aspects of male experiences: the theologies of James B. Nelson, of St ephen B. Boyd and of Garth Kasimu Baker-Fletcher. We will first put those t heologies in the context of interdisciplinary men's studies, with their epi stemological presuppositions. We will then proceed to analyse each of them, with the questions: How do they theorise experience? Who is the subject en unciating the experience? What are the objects and effects of those discour ses? What can we derive from this for a better understanding of the use of experience in theology?
