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
"Written as a text for post-secondary courses, this book aims to provide "a comprehensive and consistent theological understanding of sexuality and gender, which is broad, contemporary, undogmatic, questioning, inclusive, and relevant to readers' interests, needs, and experience" (xi)." ( Studies in Religion , 1 September 2013) "Adrian Thatcher's new book will be a rich resource for those studying and teaching sex, gender and sexuality in theological perspective ... The volume is a valuable one, which I hope will prompt readers to go and explore Thatcher's own extensive work form the past, as well as the broader context of theological scholarship on sexuality, gender and marriage within which it sits." (Theology, 1 January 2012) "Here is a clear and coherent account of where we are in terms of Christian teaching and practice about sex and gender, and it should appeal to students and general readers alike." (Church Times, 26 August 2011) "A theologian offers a theology of both sexuality and gender, discussing such topics as homosexuality and same-sex unions." (Publishers Weekly, 8 March 2011)
