God, Sex, and Gender
by Adrian Thatcher
Engagingly and clearly written by a highly respected theologian, God, Sex, and Gender is the first comprehensive introduction to a theology of both sexuality and gender available in a single volume.
Makes a theological contribution to understanding the unprecedented changes in sexual and gender relationships of the last fifty years.
Discusses many topics including: sexual difference; sexual equality; gender and power; the nature of desire; the future of marriage in Christian sexual ethics; homosexuality and same-sex unions; the problems of sexual minorities; contraception in a time of HIV/AIDS; the separation of sexual experience from marriage; and offers new arguments for marriage and for chastity.
Offers a consistent and engaging introduction at the cutting edge of theological inquiry, which is contemporary, undogmatic, questioning, and relevant to readers’ experience, interests, and needs.
Written lucidly and engagingly by an established and respected academic who has published widely in this area.
